Managing Complex Malocclusion Following Childhood Odontoma: An Interdisciplinary Approach.
Article in Contemporary clinical dentistry. 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
Loss of the maxillary anterior teeth in childhood following an odontoma can set the stage for a complex malocclusion with enduring effects on facial esthetics, function, and psychosocial health. We report the management of a 15-year-old boy who presented 8 years after odontoma excision with an anterior maxillary defect, rightward dental midline deviation, crowding, and a crossbite. Treatment combined passive self-ligating brackets with customised torque, nickel-titanium open-coil springs for controlled space regaining, and an infrazygomatic crest temporary anchorage device to drive asymmetric midline correction. At debond, a Lucitone-based removable partial denture restored anterior form and function. After 12 months of active therapy, occlusion was stable, facial symmetry improved, and the patient reported greater confidence. This case illustrates how coordinated orthodontic-prosthodontic planning that leverages contemporary biomechanics and age-appropriate prosthetics can deliver durable functional stability, esthetic enhancement, and meaningful psychosocial gains.
