Permanent first molar eruption failure in children: leading signs for early diagnosis.
Observational study in Progress in orthodontics, 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
backgroundThis cross-sectional observational study seeks to determine the clinical differences in eruption failure of permanent first molars presenting in cases of ankylosis, failure due to mechanical obstruction (MFE), and failure due to genetic causes (PFE). A total of 34 patients between 7 and 12 years old (mean ± SD: 9.3 ± 1.28 years), with anomalies in the eruption of the first permanent molars, were selected based on clinical observation, the evaluation of orthopanoramic radiographs, and intra- and extra-oral photographs. Genetic testing was also conducted to identify variants of the PTH1R gene in 27 patients with clinical signs of PFE. The familial nature of the condition was investigated through anamnesis of the first-degree relatives.
resultsOut of the 34 patients, 3 were diagnosed with PFE, confirmed by the presence of PTH1R variants. Twelve patients showed clinical signs suggestive of MFE diagnosis. The remaining 19 cases, in which no variants of the PTH1R gene were found, were considered cases of ankylosis. Roots in ankylosed teeth were located in the basal bone and often dilacerated. The reduction of vertical growth of the alveolar bone was present in both PFE and ankylosis cases, but teeth were nearer to the basal bone in ankylosis cases. Infraocclusion of deciduous teeth was present in PFE and MFE cases. Asymmetry due to bilaterally unbalanced eruption of the teeth was present in six cases with ankylosis. Bilateral affection was noticed in one PFE case and 6 MFE cases. A descriptive statistical analysis using Fisher's exact test was employed to evaluate the significant association between variables.
conclusionsThe study highlighted some characteristic signs that help in early diagnosis of cases of PFE, MFE, and ankylosis. However, genetic testing remains necessary to understand the nature of the most dubious cases.
