Tooth Autotransplantation of A Mandibular Third Molar Followed by Delayed Root Canal Treatment to Manage External Inflammatory Resorption: A Case Report.
Article in Iranian endodontic journal, 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
Tooth autotransplantation (TA) is indicated in cases of structurally compromised teeth with poor prognosis when a donor tooth is available. This case report describes the TA of a mandibular right third molar (48) into the position of the mandibular right second molar (47) in a 32-year-old male patient. Clinically, extensive coronal destruction and a sinus tract were observed in tooth 47, rendering retreatment unfavorable. The tooth was diagnosed as previously treated, with a chronic apical abscess. Therefore, tooth 48 was autotransplanted into the 47 position. Four months later, apical external inflammatory root resorption was observed. However, root canal treatment was performed one year after TA because the patient did not adhere to follow-up recommendations. After two years, the tooth remained asymptomatic, with no signs of periapical lesions or periodontal changes. In conclusion, TA may serve as a viable strategy for replacing structurally compromised permanent molars, thereby preserving the function of the natural dentition.
