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

objectiveThis retrospective cohort study aimed to analyze the occurrence of sequelae in permanent teeth resulting from traumatic injuries to primary dentition among children treated over a 14-year period at a specialized Dental Trauma Center.

methodsData from 140 children with complete records on trauma and sequelae were evaluated. Poisson regression was applied to calculate relative risks (RR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI).

resultsOut of the 244 primary teeth affected by trauma, 81 (33.2%) exhibited sequelae in their permanent successors. The majority of sequelae were mild, with enamel discoloration being the most common type. Intrusive luxation and avulsion were the main causes of sequelae. Factors influencing sequelae included age, trauma location, and trauma type. Children aged 2-4 years (RR = 0.46; 95% CI: 0.26-0.85) and those older than 4 years (RR = 0.30; 95% CI: 0.15-0.60) experienced less sequelae compared to children under 2 years of age (p = 0.003). Dental injuries sustained outside the home were linked to a higher incidence of sequelae (RR = 2.07; 95% CI: 1.16-3.66) compared to those occurring at home (p = 0.012). Additionally, supporting tissue injuries posed a significantly higher risk (RR = 2.79; 95% CI: 1.12-6.93) compared to hard tissue injuries (p = 0.027).

conclusionsSequelae in permanent teeth were commonly observed after primary dentition trauma, with the majority being classified as mild. Trauma to supporting tissues, younger age (< 2 years), and injuries occurring outside the home were associated with the development of sequelae in permanent teeth.
