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
purposeSupernumerary teeth (ST) are developmental anomalies. However, factors associated with ST have not been extensively reported in the literature. The aim of the present study was to identify factors associated with single supernumerary teeth (SST) and multiple supernumerary teeth (MST) in a non-syndromic Brazilian sample.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted with a convenience sample of 305 non-syndromic patients with ST seen over a 10-year period at a paediatric oral surgery service in Southeast Brazil. The outcome variable was the classification of ST as SST or MST. Covariates included age, race, sex, morphology, location, position, eruption status, orientation, associated complications, and treatment modality of ST. The Mann-Whitney test, chi-squared test, and both simple and multiple logistic regression analyses were performed.
resultsA total of 460 ST were identified among the 305 patients, with male predominance (68.2%). Mean age was 9.3 years. Most patients had SST (62.2%) and 37.8% had MST. ST were primarily located in the maxilla (93.1%), with fewer cases in the mandible or both arches. MST were strongly associated with specific position, eruption, orientation, clinical complication, morphological, and treatment characteristics (p < 0.001).
conclusionTuberculate and supplemental ST, palatal positioning, and eruption status were significantly associated with an increased likelihood of MST. Moreover, MST were associated with a greater risk of adjacent tooth displacement and greater need for combined orthodontic treatment and extraction.
