Effectiveness evaluation of autotransplanted teeth after performing extraoral endodontic surgery instead of conventional root canal therapy.
Article in BMC oral health, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
purposeThe aim of this study was to examine the viability and efficacy of utilizing extraoral apicoectomy and retrograde filling in combination to seal the root canal system of mature molars without the need for root canal therapy (RCT) during the autotransplantation of teeth (ATT). MATERIALS AND
methodsThis study screened 27 patients who received ATT at the Department of Oral Surgery in the Hospital of Stomatology from 2019 to 2021. Extraoral apicoectomy and retrograde filling were performed, while RCT was temporarily not performed. The study analysed the periodontal status and masticatory function of transplanted teeth one to three years postoperation and used cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and periapical radiograph (PA) to evaluate the integrity of the periodontal space and intra/periapical inflammation. The potential predictors of survival/success were analysed statistically. We also conducted questionnaires and chewing efficiency tests.
resultsIn this study, 27 TTs from 27 patients were found to be fully functional in terms of chewing ability. The overall survival rate was 100% (27/27), and the success rate was 70.4% (19/27). A total of 90.9% (20/22) of patients reported being satisfied or very satisfied with their TTs. Additionally, the chewing efficiency of the transplantation side was on average 82.0% of that of the healthy side, with a significant difference between the two sides (P < 0.05). None of the potential predictors were found to significantly affect the success or survival of the transplanted tooth (TT).
conclusionThe combination of extraoral apicoectomy and retrograde filling in TT showed promising outcomes, but further clinical cases and longer follow-up times are still required to validate the treatment plan.
