Fenestration after orthodontic traction of an impacted dilacerated maxillary central incisor: a case report and 4-year follow-up.
Article in Frontiers in dental medicine, 2026. 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
Dilacerated impacted maxillary central incisors require early detection, early diagnosis, and early treatment. Early orthodontic traction can allow the root, which is confined by the buccal or palatal cortical bone, to rotate along with the crown and enter the cancellous bone, thereby gaining an opportunity for continued development. We reported a case of an 11-year-old boy with an impacted dilacerated maxillary central incisor. Following surgical exposure combined with orthodontic traction, fenestration occurred. However, after four years of follow-up, the affected tooth exhibited normal pulp vitality and no abnormal mobility. This case might offer an indication that even for dilacerated maxillary central incisors with short roots, or those that develop fenestration after traction, the long-term outcomes of traction treatment could be quite favorable.
