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

Dynamic navigation systems can improve precision and accuracy in oral surgical procedures. Odontomas are benign lesions commonly encountered in clinical practice. When asymptomatic, they are often discovered in cases of persistence of deciduous elements, and the permanent teeth fail to erupt spontaneously. The surgical removal approach is the gold-standard treatment, but is not without risks. This case report presents a 14-year-old boy with an impacted upper canine in the presence of an odontoma near the roots of the permanent central and lateral incisors. The removal of the odontoma and the recovery of the canine were performed using a dynamic navigation system. Integrating the navigation system with cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) allowed for precise planning and real-time guided surgery, ensuring patient safety, comfort, and predictability. This approach highlights the potential of dynamic navigation systems not only for implant rehabilitation but also for advancing oral surgery procedures, paving the way for future developments in dentistry that can better leverage the clinical skills of operators.
