Fusion of a Primary Maxillary Central Incisor With a Mesiodens: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Dental fusion is a developmental anomaly that involves the joining of two developing tooth germs. Although fusion between adjacent teeth has been widely reported, the fusion between a primary tooth and a supernumerary in the primary dentition remains uncommon. It has been reported in isolated case reports without relevant epidemiological studies. We present the case of a 3.5-year-old boy with pain in the upper anterior region. Clinical and radiographic examination revealed fusion between the primary maxillary right central incisor (51) and a mesiodens. Due to symptoms and the extent of carious lesions of the fused tooth, extraction was performed. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges in identifying this anomaly, the differentiation from gemination, and the importance of long-term monitoring of the erupting permanent successor.
