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
Introduction: Tooth extraction represents a global concern, as it directly affects the quality of life. Despite of advancements in modern dentistry, extraction remains the only available option in not a few cases. The most common causes of tooth loss are caries and periodontal diseases, with other less common causes like trauma, orthodontic treatment, and patient preference in low socioeconomic areas. This study aims to ascertain the frequency, causes, and patterns of adult tooth extractions among Iraqi patients. Materials and Methods: Patients attending the clinics of oral surgery in the dental teaching hospital of Mustansiriyah University for the period of October 2024 to May 2025 were examined to be enrolled in this study with their information recorded and analyzed. Results: A total of 1096 patients participated in this study with 1408 extracted teeth. Almost 738 were males, and 358 were females with an age range of (18-83) years with a mean ± Sd of (40.3 ± 14.34) years. Dental caries was found to be the most common cause of tooth extraction (94.5%), and periodontal disease accounted for (3.8%) of extractions; other causes represented only (1.6%). No statistically significant association was observed between age group and extraction due to caries ( Conclusion and Suggestions: Dental caries was the predominant cause of permanent tooth extraction among patients attending the Dental College Teaching Hospital of Mustansiriyah University, accounting for the majority of cases, while periodontal disease represented a considerably smaller proportion. No statistically significant association was observed between age group and extraction due to caries. In contrast, a significant association was found between age group and extraction due to periodontal disease. These findings highlight the need for effective preventive strategies and patient education programs aimed at improving oral hygiene practices and early management of dental caries to reduce the rate of tooth loss.
