Treatment of Palatally Displaced Canines in Children: A Randomized Controlled Pilot Trial on Exposure Time and Patient Perception of Two Closed Surgical Methods.
Trial report in Clinical and experimental dental research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectivesTo evaluate treatment time and patient perception of two surgical methods to expose a palatally displaced canine (PDC) into the oral cavity. MATERIAL AND
methodsA total of 30 consecutive patients between 11 and 18 years, with maxillary displaced canines were recruited. After gaining informed consent from the patients and custodians, the patients were randomized into two groups by an independent person. Both groups received a chain attached to the crown of the canine: in group A (control group) the chain was placed under the mucoperiosteal flap to an incision on the alveolar crest and in group B (test group), the chain penetrated the mucoperiosteal flap inferiorly to the crown of the canine. Outcome measures where time to expose the PDC into the oral cavity and the patient's experience of pain and discomfort during the treatment.
resultsTwenty-six patients full-filled the trial, mean age was 12.9 years, (SD 1.6 years). The time to expose the canines for the control group was 11.9 months (SD 6.5) and for the test group 6.7 months (SD 3.2) The conventional method showed less pain on the day of surgery.
conclusionThe method used in the test group resulted in a 5-month shorter time to expose the canine compared to the control group, and higher pain level on the day of surgery. For generalizability of the results, larger studies are needed.
