Prevalence of Impacted Teeth: A Radiographical Retrospective Rio de Janeiro Population-Based Study.
Article in Journal of maxillofacial and oral surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Background: The early detection of impacted teeth is essential for the prevention of future malocclusions and possible lesions. The aim of this study is to assess the prevalence of impacted teeth and associated pathological lesions. Methods: One thousand six hundred and two panoramic radiographs were analyzed for this retrospective study. The prevalence of impacted teeth, the presence of supernumerary teeth and cystic or tumoral lesions associated, and the type of angulation of third molars using Winter's classification were accessed. The descriptive statistics and the Chi-squared test were performed ( Results: One thousand three hundred and ninety-seven panoramic radiographs fulfilled impacted criteria. A prevalence of 541 (38.7%) impacted teeth was observed, with the female gender significantly higher ( Conclusion: The impacted tooth prevalence was 38.7%, more common in females than in males. The lower third molars presented the highest prevalence of impacted, and the most common angulations were vertical and mesioangulated. Only four associated lesions were observed.
