Five-year follow-up of conservative management for root fractures in immature permanent tooth post trauma: A case report and literature review.
Article in SAGE open medical case reports, 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
Vertical root fractures in young permanent teeth secondary to dental trauma are rarely documented in the literature. This case report presents an effective conservative management strategy for preserving a young permanent tooth with a cervical vertical root fracture utilizing splinting techniques and long-term follow-up. We report the case of a 6.5-year-old child who presented with a trauma-induced vertical root fracture in the maxillary left central incisor (tooth #21). Over a 5-year follow-up period, successful hard tissue healing and complete root maturation were observed. By detailing the treatment protocol and reviewing relevant literature, this report analyzes the factors influencing vertical root fracture prognosis and highlights the remarkable self-healing capacity of immature teeth. The favorable clinical outcomes demonstrate that conservative management through splinting provides a viable and highly effective therapeutic option for treating vertical root fractures in young permanent dentition.
