1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

aimPre-eruptive intracoronal resorption (PIER) defects constitute an important part of anomalies associated with unerupted teeth. However, these defects are usually overlooked by clinicians whilst interpreting radiographs. This systematic review was thus orchestrated to find the global prevalence of PEIR. METHODOLOGY: A comprehensive database search was done until December 2022 for published articles on the prevalence of pre-eruptive intracoronal resorption following preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses guidelines. The review was registered in Prospero (CRD42024501668). The risk of bias was analysed for each study using the Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale for cross-sectional studies.

resultsIn total 18 studies were included in the present systematic review. The subject prevalence was 3.54% (range 0.56-27.31%) and tooth prevalence of 0.695% (Range 0.073-2.12%). Males and females were equally affected with no difference based on geography and race. Mandibular teeth showed more incidence of PEIR than maxillary teeth. First premolars were most frequently affected in the mandibular arch, whilst canines were affected most in the maxillary arch.

conclusionWithin the limits of the review, we presented for the first time the global prevalence of PEIR. The condition may be overlooked and could lead to potential complications, thus it is essential to promptly diagnose these defects, thus preventing any further complications. We further suggest that all extirpated soft tissue should be submitted for further evaluation to shed light on the pathogenetic mechanisms involved in the initiation and progression of the disease.
