MR imaging evaluation of accidental third molar displacement into parapharyngeal space: a case report.
Article in Oral and maxillofacial surgery, 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
Accidental displacement of impacted and non-erupted upper third molars into the maxillary sinus, buccal space, infratemporal fossa, and lateral pharyngeal space is uncommon. Herein, we present an unusual case of parapharyngeal cellulitis secondary to iatrogenic displacement of the right third molar. Clinical history, physical examination, and imaging assessment are essential in the evaluation of teeth projected into adjacent anatomic spaces. Panoramic radiography, the first-line imaging modality used to help screen and visualize the abnormal position of the tooth, is not sufficient. Additional investigation is required to depict and localize the displaced tooth, assess potential complications, and guide removal. We suggest preoperative MRI to minimize perioperative risks, with a special focus on the most adjacent vulnerable structures, and intraoperative C-arm fluoroscopy imaging to contribute to safe minimally invasive surgery.
