A Pragmatic Approach to the Management of Inadvertent Displacement of Wisdom Tooth into the Submandibular Space: Assessment of Risks, Literature Review, and Management Algorithm.
Article in Journal of maxillofacial and oral surgery, 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
Introduction: Displacement of mandibular third molars into submandibular space is relatively rare with only sparse literature available on its incidence and management. Several anatomic patient-related and operator factors predispose to the displacement of tooth/root fragments into the submandibular space. In this article, the literature pertaining to the displacement of the tooth into submandibular region during surgical removal is discussed along with a case report and an algorithm for its management is formulated to help plan the surgical procedure. Aim: To discuss the management algorithm and review the literature pertaining to the displacement of the mandibular third molar tooth/root fragment into the submandibular space. Conclusion: While performing surgical removal of an impacted third molar, one should thoroughly evaluate the difficulty index. The use of appropriate technique, proper instrumentation, and the application of sound surgical principles can help manage cases of displaced lower molars/root fragments into the submandibular space.
