Trial report in BMC oral health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06270784 (Traditional vs Orthodontic Extraction of Impacted Teeth Related to the Inferior Alveolar Nerve), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.

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.

Abstract

backgroundThe aim of this prospective randomized controlled trial was to compare the effects of orthodontic and traditional extraction methods on nerve injury following the extraction of impacted third molars close to the inferior alveolar nerve and to demonstrate the impact of factors such as gender, age, systemic diseases, the side of the third molar, its position, and classification on nerve recovery.

methodsPatients with impacted third molars close to the inferior alveolar nerve and an indication for impacted third molar extraction were included in the study. The patients were divided into two groups according to the surgical approach to be applied.

resultsPreoperative 2-point discrimination (2PD) test values, as well as postoperative 2PD test and visual analog scales (VAS) values on the 7th day, 14th day, and 1st, 3rd, and 6th months, were compared. In the traditional extraction group, the results of the 2PD test were statistically significantly higher on the 7th day, 14th day, 1 month, and 3 months compared to the orthodontic extraction group (P < 0.05). Sex, age, systemic disease, M3 side, position, and classification had no statistically significant effect on nerve recovery (P > 0.05).

conclusionsThe orthodontic extraction was found to be safer than traditional extraction in terms of nerve injury for high-risk M3s. CLINICAL
