1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Ectopic sinonasal third molar is a rare condition characterized by the aberrant position of the third molar in the maxillar sinus. The etiology of the teeth in the maxillary sinus is commonly associated to trauma and iatrogenic dental procedures. We present the clinical case of a 33-year-old man who presents an ectopic tooth in the right maxillary sinus, located in the orbital floor, who requires endoscopic control through a maxillary approach when performing the extraction. The endoscopic technique is being increasingly used in the maxillofacial field. Thanks to the endoscopic control for complex extractions like the descibed case, complications such as injuries of the infraorbital nerve or fractures of the different walls of the sinus could be avoided. In conclusion, endoscopic control to perform tooth extractions in the maxillary sinus is a safe option that helps to avoid complications such as fracture of the maxillary sinus walls or fracture of the orbital floor.
