Case Report: Minimally invasive removal of impacted supernumerary teeth using digital 3D-printed surgical guides: a case series.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 surgical management of impacted supernumerary teeth (ST) remains challenging because of their hidden position and close proximity to vital anatomical structures. These guides offered accurate intraoperative guidance and minimized both bone removal and soft-tissue dissection. A standardized digital workflow that integrates cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and intraoral scans was employed to create patient-specific guides that precisely dictated the osteotomy location. The guides provided critical intraoperative guidance and minimized the extent of bone removal and soft tissue dissection. This accurate and focused approach contributed to observed reductions in postoperative discomfort and swelling, supporting an overall favorable recovery profile in all cases. The application of 3D-printed surgical guides enables a highly precise and minimally invasive approach for the removal of impacted ST, thereby improving postoperative recovery. Furthermore, this technique shows considerable potential for broader application in oral and maxillofacial surgery by ensuring precise localization, reducing complications, and enhancing operative efficiency.
