Management of a pediatric patient with dental anomalies and its effect on psychosocial status: a case report.
Article in Frontiers in dental medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Managing multiple dental anomalies in the anterior region of the dental arch presents unique and complex challenges. This case report describes using a multidisciplinary approach to manage a child with not only a fused tooth with a supernumerary but also the presence of other supernumerary teeth in the same place. In this case, deviation from the standard management of a fused permanent anterior tooth, an anchor for aesthetics, by extracting it because of crown root complexity and allowing a supernumerary to erupt into its place made the difference in the successful outcome. However, this condition required multidisciplinary management that necessitated the involvement of the psychiatric department. Continuous assessment of the patient's psychosocial function using the Social Avoidance and Distress Scale (SADS) allowed appropriate guidance to manage the patient's behavior. This case report added a different perspective on managing a fused tooth with a supernumerary to the literature. It showed how dental aesthetics can have an adverse effect on children's psychology.
