Anterior Maxillary Mesiodens Extraction in a Young Adult Male: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Mesiodens are classified as supernumerary teeth located in the maxilla, specifically in the palatal region between the central incisors. The prevalence of this condition varies between 0.15% and 1.9% among individuals. The presence of mesiodens can potentially affect the normal growth and development of teeth, leading to delayed eruption of permanent teeth, displacement or rotation of adjacent teeth, root resorption, and infectious pulpitis. This report discusses the case of a 14-year-old male patient who presented with a palatally placed mesiodens, which was completely erupted in the oral cavity. The patient underwent extraction for the removal of the mesiodens, and the procedure was successful with no complications reported during or after surgery. Early identification and surgical removal of mesiodens are crucial to preventing potential orthodontic and functional complications. This case highlights the importance of regular dental checkups for diagnosing supernumerary teeth. Timely intervention can lead to favorable outcomes, as demonstrated in this patient.
