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

Introduction: Root dilaceration, a clinically significant developmental anomaly that can complicate dental treatment, has been attributed to various etiological factors, but the role of odontogenic lesions is still poorly understood. This observational study aimed to evaluate the relationship between odontogenic lesions and root dilaceration in impacted teeth. Methods: The sample size consisted of 22 impacted teeth divided into two groups: with odontogenic lesions (Group IwL) and without lesions (Group IwoL). Pre- and post-treatment radiographs, taken before and after conservative surgical or orthodontic-surgical management of impacted teeth, were used to assess the occurrence of dilaceration in both groups. Fisher's exact text was applied to compare the prevalence of dilaceration in both groups. In order to analyze the influence of each additional variable on dilaceration, a multivariate analysis was performed through logistic regression. Results: Root dilaceration was significantly more common in Group IwL (72.73%) than in Group IwoL (18.18%) ( Conclusions: This study provides novel evidence for a correlation between odontogenic lesions and root dilaceration, suggesting that compressive forces from these lesions may significantly contribute to abnormal root development, with important implications for clinical diagnosis and treatment planning.
