Impacted Mandibular Third Molars Close to the Inferior Alveolar Nerve (IAN) Coronectomy: A Surgical Approach with Minimal Risk of Nerve Injury.
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 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
Aims and Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of treatment following coronectomy on mandibular third molars with inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) involvement. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive analysis was done on the mandibular third molars of 37 people (≥ 18 years old, 28 males, and 9 females) who needed a coronectomy and had a confirmed diagnosis of IAN in groups I, II, and III according to the classification of Q. Luo 2018, as found by CBCT. Result: The most prevalent indication in panoramic photographs was an interruption of the canal sign's white line (45.9%). The coronectomy approach had a success rate of 100%. There were statistically significant differences in the degree of vertical and horizontal face swelling, as well as mouth opening, between the second and third postoperative days. No incidences of paresthesia were reported after surgery. The root migrated the most in the first 3 months following surgery, measuring 2.43 ± 1.08 mm. At 6 months following surgery, the root migrated by 2.95 ± 1.27 mm. At 9 months following surgery, the root migrated 3.04 ± 1.19 mm from its initial location. Conclusion: The risk of complications after a coronectomy seems to be inadequate, at least in the immediate aftermath of the operations. Coronectomy may be required for molars that are close to the IAN. Due to the roots often receding from the IAN, a second procedure to remove the remaining roots is typically performed with minimal risk of paresthesia.
