Does a Single Episode of Pain from Impacted Third Molars Necessitate Their Removal?
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 1 paper.
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: Pericoronitis induces oxidative stress in the dental follicular (DF) tissue, which can lead to histopathological alterations. It is a fact that an impacted tooth with a history of recurrent pericoronitis should be extracted. But there is a limited research on the levels of nitric oxide (NO) in DF tissues of impacted mandibular third molars with even a single episode of pain, necessitating their removal biochemically at a younger age. A cross-sectional study was designed to assess and compare the levels of nitric oxide in DF tissues of impacted mandibular third molars without a history of pain to those with a history of a single episode of pain in the past six months. Materials and Methods: Sixty individuals with impacted third molars were enrolled in a single-blind cross-sectional study. Group A ( Results: Nitric oxide levels were significantly higher for patients with a history of a single episode of pain in the past six months than those without any history of pain ( Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest that NO could be used as an indicator of oxidative stress and therefore emphasizes the importance of removing impacted mandibular third molars in patients who have had even a single episode of pain.
