Orthodontic-Surgical Management of Triple Impacted Mesiodens and Maxillary Incisors - A Case Report.
Article in Annals of maxillofacial surgery. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Rationale: Mesiodens are supernumerary teeth located in the pre-maxilla between the two central incisors with a prevalence rate of 0.15-1.9%. An impacted mesiodens may cause delayed eruption of permanent incisors, ectopic eruption, pathological disturbances and malalignment of teeth. Patient Concerns: The patient complained of missing upper front teeth associated with pain in the same region for two weeks. Diagnosis: Upon clinical and radiographic examination, it was diagnosed as triple impacted mesiodens with impacted permanent maxillary central incisors. Treatment: The clinicians in the study approached the issue by surgical removal of the impacted mesiodens and orthodontic treatment for extrusion of the impacted permanent maxillary central incisors. Outcomes: The patient was relieved of the pre-operative concerns and followed up regularly for the eruption of permanent maxillary central incisors. Take-away Lessons: The authors advocate the importance of timely diagnosis and proper management of such rare pathologies.
