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

Autotransplantation (AT) is a promising alternative for restoring failed teeth. However, the success rate varies due to technique sensitivity and absence of standardized protocol. We present the first documented AT protocol utilizing a dynamic navigation system, including three core innovations: (1) navigation-guided socket preparation, (2) extra-alveolar retrograde filling, and (3) digital lingual stent fixation with flowable resin. A 55-year-old Taiwanese female with a vertical root fracture in tooth 36 underwent dynamic navigation-guided AT of tooth 38. The recipient area was prepared using a 2.5 mm wide round bur under the X-Guide® navigation. The X-Mark® probe was used to detect underprepared areas, and once preparation was deemed optimal, a three-dimensional (3D) replica was used for final confirmation. Tooth 38 was extracted and underwent retrograde filling, then transplanted into the socket of tooth 36 and fixed with a lingual stent. Postoperative image demonstrated ideal tooth positioning and favorable bone remodeling.
