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

Background: Severe buccal vertical bone defects accompanied by combined periodontal-endodontic lesions are challenging to manage, and evidence regarding the long-term outcomes of digitally assisted autotransplantation combined with sticky bone grafting remains limited. We aimed to report a case of digitally assisted tooth autotransplantation combined with autologous alveolar bone and sticky bone grafts for the reconstruction of a severe buccal vertical defect. Case Description: A 23-year-old female patient underwent autotransplantation of the right maxillary third molar (#1) to replace the left mandibular first molar (#19) affected by a severe buccal vertical bone defect in July 2020. The autotransplantation procedure involving the donor tooth and the attached autologous alveolar bone from Tooth #1 was simulated using surgical planning software to determine the optimal rotation and angulation of the donor tooth. Buccal bone augmentation for the vertical defect associated with severe furcation involvement was achieved by transplanting the distal alveolar bone of Tooth #1 in combination with sticky bone grafts. The tooth was stabilized with resin fiber tape for 4 weeks. Conclusion: At the 4-year follow-up, no clinical or radiographic abnormalities or signs of infection or inflammation were observed. This approach may represent a feasible option for selected cases with severe buccal vertical bone defects.
