Reactive soft tissue growth: a case report of onset post-extraction of natal tooth.
Article in Frontiers in dental medicine, 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
Natal teeth occur in approximately 1 in 2,000-3,000 live births and may cause oral soft tissue trauma such as Riga-Fede disease. This report describes a late-preterm female neonate with two mandibular incisor natal teeth, which were extracted. Following extraction, an erythematous gingival swelling developed at the site, which enlarged over five months into a firm, pink, pedunculated mass. Excision was performed under local anesthesia using a diode laser. Histopathology revealed a peripheral ossifying fibroma (POF)-a reactive inflammatory hyperplastic lesion that is exceedingly rare in infants. Healing was uneventful, with no recurrence. This case highlights the importance of monitoring extraction sites for delayed reactive lesions in neonates, even after resolution of the initial trauma, and emphasizes the value of histopathologic evaluation to guide management.
