Prevalence of Post-Operative Complications in Autotransplanted Teeth: A Long-Term Retrospective Cohort.
Article in Dental traumatology : official publication of International Association for Dental Traumatology, 2026. 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
BACKGROUND/
aimsTo evaluate the prevalence and timing of post-operative complications following tooth autotransplantation, identify factors associated with earlier diagnosis, and report long-term survival and success rates. MATERIALS AND
methodsA single-centre retrospective cohort study was conducted at a Czech university dental clinic (2003-2024); no external funding. Donor teeth were grouped as premolars, molars and anterior (canines, incisors, one premaxillary supernumerary; predominantly single-rooted, single-canal). Root development was classified according to Moorrees: early (1-3), optimal (4-5), late (6-7). Survival/success were estimated with Kaplan-Meier; timing of first diagnosis with event-only cumulative incidence (1-Kaplan-Meier); and factors associated with earlier occurrence with Cox proportional hazards regression.
resultsThe study included 134 teeth in 111 patients (74 premolars, 48 molars, 12 anterior). Half of the complications were diagnosed within 18 months (median time to first diagnosis: 11.7 months inflammatory resorption, 19.6 months apical pathology, 18.0 months cervical resorption, 21.4 months replacement resorption). Five-year survival: premolars 95.4%; molars 86.6%; anterior 75.8%. Five-year success: 75.3%, 76.8% and 66.0%, respectively. Age ≥ 30 years was associated with earlier tooth loss and apical pathology; male gender with earlier inflammatory resorption and loss of success. Anterior teeth and restorative indications (e.g., caries, previous root canal treatment failure) were associated with earlier apical pathology. A single preoperative dose of amoxicillin 1 g ~1 h before surgery or a 7-day post-operative amoxicillin course (500-1000 mg) was associated with delayed diagnosis of infection-related complications. Some treated complications recurred or transformed into another type, requiring additional intervention.
conclusionsEarly detection enables successful management of most complications. As half occurred within 18 months-the critical window-follow-up should include reviews at 1 week, 1 month, 3 months and every 3 months until 2 years post-transplantation, with continued long-term monitoring for recurrences and late complications.
