Congenitally Missing Lateral Incisors: Prioritizing Space Closure Whenever Feasible.
Review 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
Congenital missing teeth are among the most prevalent dental malformations. Maxillary lateral incisors are particularly prone to agenesis, often missing bilaterally. This condition presented complex challenges for both patients and clinicians. The etiology of maxillary lateral incisor agenesis is multifactorial, involving genetic and environmental factors. The management is also inherently complex, necessitating an interdisciplinary approach. Treatment options include orthodontic space closure, resin-bonded bridges, implants, removable partial dentures, and autotransplantation. Among these, implant placement and orthodontic space closure are most commonly preferred by clinicians. The selection of an appropriate treatment modality depends on multiple factors, such as patient growth, available space, condition of adjacent teeth, and initial malocclusion. This review aimed to evaluate and compare various treatment options for maxillary lateral incisor agenesis, providing a comprehensive analysis of the latest evidence and highlighting the benefits and limitations of each approach to inform clinical decision-making.
