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

purposeSupernumerary cusps and taurodontism are both dental anomalies with complex etiology. Their combination in a non-syndromic patient is rare and requires special dental considerations.This case report is to present this occurrence and discuss its clinical significance.

methodsA 34-year-old male patient's cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images were investigated.

resultsTen cusps and a pyramidal pulp chamber were observed on tooth 47. Mimics 21.0 and Geomagic 21.0 software were used for three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of the deformed tooth. Moreover, teeth 16, 17, 26 and 27 were classified as hypotaurodontism based on CBCT analysis.

conclusionSimultaneous occurrence of supernumerary cusps and taurodontism in one tooth or patient is rare. Clinicians should be able to identify these anomalies and provide appropriate management and treatment strategy.
