The palatal displaced maxillary canine: early diagnosis and interceptive correction - a guideline for the general dental practitioner.
Guideline in British dental journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
The maxillary permanent canine has a long path of eruption and can become displaced, leading to displacement on the palatal side and failure of eruption. We highlight current diagnostic strategies to help monitor eruption of this tooth and discuss potential interceptive measures to promote eruption in the presence of displacement. We further investigate the current evidence base with meta-analysis and provide a guide for the general dental practitioner based upon these data. In particular, extraction of the primary canine to normalise the eruptive position of a palatal displaced maxillary canine is unpredictable, but a favourable outcome can be achieved if treatment is commenced between the ages of 10-13 years, the patient is in the mixed dentition, there is space for the permanent canine within the dental arch, and radiographically, the canine crown is not beyond the midline of the lateral incisor tooth. It is important that the general dental practitioner can diagnose normal and abnormal eruption of the permanent canine in children aged between 10-13 years and refer those cases with evidence of displacement in a timely and appropriate manner.
