Hypohyperodontia in a sample of Chinese population: a retrospective study.
Article in BMC oral health, 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
backgroundHypohyperdontia, a rare numeric dental anomaly combining tooth agenesis and supernumerary teeth (ST), impacts aesthetics and function. Limited epidemiological data exist in Chinese populations. This study investigates its prevalence and distribution.
methodsThis retrospective study analyzed 10,112 panoramic radiographs(PRs)(August 2021 ~ December 2023) to assess hypohyperdontia prevalence, distribution and associated characteristics, including patient demographics, dentition type, ST (number, morphology, location, orientation), and tooth agenesis patterns (number, location). The hypohyperdontia patients were stratified into pre- and post-eruption groups based on permanent anterior/supernumerary tooth eruption status. All data were presented as counts(n) and percentage (%), and statistically analysed using logistic regression and Chi-square test.
resultsPrevalence was 0.66% (67/10112; M: F 42:25) without gender difference (OR = 1.28, 95% CI: 0.78-2.11, p = 0.329). Most cases were diagnosed in the mixed dentition (mean age: 6.97 years), with 85.07% (57/67) affecting both jaws. The anteroposterior type (58.21%, 39/67) predominated over anterior type (41.79%, 28/67). Eruption-wise, 10 and 57 cases were pre- and post-eruption, respectively. ST were predominantly single (73.13%, 49/67), conical (56/85), and vertically/inverted-oriented (38/85 and 34/85, respectively), with premaxillary predilection (p = 0.001). Single-tooth agenesis was most common (38/67 cases; total missing teeth = 115). Mandibular agenesis was more frequent (p = 0.001), primarily affecting second premolars (64/115), followed by lateral incisors (26/115), without side preference (p = 0.641).
conclusionsHypohyperdontia prevalence is 0.66%, within the global range (0.002% to 3.1%) with no gender bias. Typically diagnosed in mixed dentition, most cases are bimaxillary involvement. Isolated posterior involvement is rare. ST and agenesis patterns mirror isolated anomalies. Early panoramic screening in suspected cases facilitates timely multidisciplinary management to prevent functional and aesthetic complications.
