Congenital Bilateral Missing of Permanent Mandibular Second Molars in a 10-Year-Old Child: A Case Report.
Article in Frontiers in dentistry, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Hypodontia is the most common dental developmental disorder. Several underlying mechanisms have been proposed to be involved in its pathogenesis. Occurrence of hypodontia as an isolated trait due to genetic mutations has also been reported. Hypodontia most commonly involves the mandibular premolars, maxillary lateral incisors and second premolars. However, hypodontia of permanent second molars is a rare occurrence. To the best of the author's knowledge, only two studies on orthodontic patients have reported hypodontia of permanent second molars in Iran. This case report describes non-syndromic bilateral missing of permanent mandibular second molars in a 10-year-old child. Clinical examination revealed no systemic underlying condition, and no clinical evidence of any syndrome, or hereditary or familial pattern. Due to the potential impact of hypodontia on the function of dentition, prompt management of hypodontia is imperative. Furthermore, due to the possible mutations associated with hypodontia, additional screening for cancer susceptibility may be recommended.
