Article in Journal of pharmacy & bioallied sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Objective: Traumatic dental injuries (TDIs) are a major public health concern, particularly affecting anterior teeth due to their prominent position. While global prevalence ranges from 6 to 59%, limited epidemiological data exist for Mysuru district, Karnataka, India. Hence, the objective of this study was to assess the prevalence of traumatic injuries to anterior teeth and associated factors in patients reporting to a tertiary care center in Mysuru city. Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted from March to July 2022 at JSS Dental College and Hospital, Mysuru. Of 3,885 patients examined, 300 patients aged 14-60 years with anterior teeth trauma were included using convenience sampling. Data collection involved validated questionnaires, clinical examinations, and radiographic assessments. TDIs were classified according to Andreasen criteria. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS with significance set at Results: The prevalence of TDI was 7.72% with a patient: tooth ratio of 1:2.5. The mean age of TDI was 29.27 ± 10.74 years, and males predominated (67.7%). Two-wheeler accidents were the leading cause (24.7%). Maxillary teeth were affected 8 times more than mandibular teeth (89.4% vs 10.6%). Central incisors showed the highest injury rates. Enamel-dentin fractures were most common (35%), followed by enamel fractures (25%). Only 21.7% sought immediate treatment, with significant treatment delays observed. Conclusions: The study reveals concerning patterns of TDI prevalence and delayed treatment seeking behavior. These findings emphasize the need for targeted prevention strategies, public awareness campaigns, and immediate treatment protocols to improve outcomes in this population.
