1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundPediatric cancer therapies often cause severe dental developmental disturbances. While extractions are common, biological rehabilitation using autotransplantation is rarely reported, particularly in patients with secondary malignancies and complex medical histories. This case describes multidisciplinary oral rehabilitation using tooth autotransplantation, guided implant placement, and three-dimensional digital planning in a young patient with dual pediatric malignancies and severe dental anomalies. CASE PRESENTATION: A 17-year-old White female patient from Latvia presented with multiple dental anomalies following intensive treatment for rhabdomyosarcoma at the age of 11 years and subsequent B-cell precursor non-Hodgkin lymphoma at the age of 14 years. Oncologic management included systemic chemotherapy, intrathecal therapy, and image-guided fractionated intensity-modulated radiation therapy to the entire brain and spinal cord (18 Gy total dose, 2 Gy per fraction, 9 fractions), resulting in severe root resorption of tooth 16, bilateral agenesis of mandibular second premolars (35, 45), and structural malformations of third molars. Treatment involved orthodontic space preparation, extraction of tooth 16, and autotransplantation of tooth 28 using a cone-beam computed tomography-guided three-dimensionally printed replica. Guided implant placement was performed in sites 35 and 45 after space opening. Extracted third molars were analyzed using micro-computed tomography, revealing therapy-induced disorganized dentin-pulp morphology and abnormal mineralization. At 3-year follow-up, the autotransplanted tooth exhibited complete root maturation and stable periodontal integration. Both implants showed stable osseointegration with no complications at 2-year follow-up. The patient reported high functional and aesthetic satisfaction.

conclusionsBiological rehabilitation using tooth autotransplantation and guided implant placement is feasible and effective in select patients post-oncology who have severe therapy-related dental anomalies. Integration of three-dimensional digital planning improves surgical accuracy and treatment outcomes. Interdisciplinary care is essential for managing complex oral rehabilitation after pediatric cancer therapy.
