The Prevalence and Categories of Impacted Maxillary Canines: A Radiographic Study.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesThe current study aims to identify the prevalence of impacted maxillary canines among the Saudi population in the Qassim region.
methodsA total of 6,946 panoramic radiographs were collected retrospectively and screened by an experienced orthodontist to determine the frequency of impacted maxillary canines. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) (IBM SPSS Statistics, Armonk, NY, USA) was used to evaluate the significant differences between categorical variables such as gender and the position of impacted teeth.
resultsOverall, 4,977 patients were included in the final analysis. There were 2,509 (50.4%) males and 2,468 (49.6%) females. The prevalence of impacted maxillary canines in our sample was 2.7%, with a higher prevalence of impacted maxillary canines in males (n=74, 2.94%) compared to females (n=60, 2.43%). The majority of the impacted canines were unilateral (n=105, 78.4%) compared to bilateral (n=29, 21.6%).
conclusionImpacted maxillary canines were found in 134 out of 4,977 (2.7%) patients. Males (2.94%) demonstrated a higher impaction rate than females (2.43%). However, the difference was not statistically significant.
