Adverse effects of splinting of luxated primary teeth: A systematic review.
Review in Journal of education and health promotion, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Traumatic dental injuries of primary teeth are considered as dental emergencies and public health problems because of the higher global prevalence. Dental literature in regard to optimal treatment options for periodontal injuries of primary teeth (luxation injuries) is quite limited and perplexing in terms of treatment outcomes/prognosis due to several relevant factors. To date, there has been no systematic review published in context of exploring and analyzing the unfavorable outcomes/adverse effects of splinting the luxated primary teeth and its effect on permanent successors teeth. Hence, the current systematic review (SR) was conducted with the aim to systematically explore and appraise the literature about the unfavorable outcomes of splinting of primary teeth with luxation injuries. This SR was conducted as per PRISMA guidelines and PICO format of review question and literature search. The protocol was registered in PROSPERO. Thirty-two articles were included in this review for critical appraisal. The quality of included articles was analyzed by JBI critical appraisal checklist. The majority of case reports (CRs) revealed unfavorable outcomes (mostly for lateral luxation and extrusion) followed by retrospective studies (RSs), which reported both favorable and unfavorable outcomes/sequelae after splinting. The most common adverse outcomes of splinting in luxation injuries were crown discoloration, pathological root resorption, and pulp necrosis in affected primary teeth, which were mainly reported by CR and RS articles. Adverse sequelae on permanent successor teeth including incomplete eruption, hypocalcified defects, enamel hypoplasia, displaced permanent tooth germ, and dentigerous cyst have mainly been reported by only a few case reports.
