Regional Odontodysplasia in Primary Teeth: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Regional odontodysplasia (RO) is a rare dental anomaly that affects the development of dental tissues, resulting in amorphous, hypocalcified, hypoplastic teeth with the characteristic radiographic appearance of "ghost teeth." This study aims to report the clinical case of a patient diagnosed with RO in primary teeth. A two-year-old boy was brought to a private clinic with complaints of delayed eruption and anomalies in the upper right primary teeth. Intraoral examination revealed significant changes in the shape, color, and structure of all upper right primary teeth, including enamel hypoplasia, conoid and flattened teeth, yellowish/brownish coloration, and associated gingival inflammation. Radiographic examination revealed a thin layer of enamel and dentin, with no contrast between them, a pattern characteristic of "ghost teeth." A conservative approach was adopted, including prophylaxis, application of fluoride varnish, guidance, and regular clinical and radiographic follow-up, aiming to maintain the health of the affected tissues and monitor the development of the permanent dentition. This case highlights the importance of early recognition of RO, which enabled an individualized treatment plan focused on preserving the affected teeth and promoting oral health.
