Prevalence and Pattern of Impacted Mandibular Third Molar: An Institution-Based Retrospective Study.
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
Introduction: Classifications of impaction based on panoramic radiographs such as the ones of Pell and Gregory and Winter are essential to allow a better understanding of third molar position regarding depth and bone coverage of the impacted tooth. The aim of this study is to evaluate the position of impacted third molars based on the classifications of Pell and Gregory and Winter in a sample of central Gujarat patients. Material and Method: In this retrospective study, 1000 orthopantomograms (OPG) of the patients who were reported to the Maxillofacial Department of FDS, DDU, which had bilateral impacted mandibular third molars in past three years were evaluated. Results: Among 1000 patients, 475 were male and 525 were female patients. Of the 1000 OPGs studied, the most common angulation of impaction in the mandible was mesioangular position followed by distoangular impaction. The level of eruption of impacted third molar most commonly was found to be at level B followed by level A and level C. The space availability of impacted third molar was seen as Type II, Type I and Type III in descending order. There was no significant difference between the right and left sides in both the jaws. Conclusion: The most common angulation was mesioangular in the mandible. The most common level of impaction in mandible was at Position B and class II type, and there was no any significant difference between the right and left sides in both jaws.
