Intranasal ectopic tooth: An unusual diagnostic finding with review of literature.
Article in Radiology case reports, 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
Intranasal ectopic teeth are rare developmental anomalies characterized by the eruption of a tooth within the nasal cavity and may present with nonspecific symptoms that can delay diagnosis. They are often associated with complications such as chronic infection, rhinolith formation, and recurrent sinonasal symptoms. We report the case of a 45-year-old man who presented with a 6-month history of persistent foul-smelling right-sided nasal discharge and intermittent epistaxis. Nasal endoscopy revealed a hard white mass on the floor of the right nasal cavity surrounded by calcified deposits, while computed tomography demonstrated a tooth-like hyperdense structure with a central pulp cavity extending from the hard palate into the nasal cavity, consistent with an intranasal ectopic tooth associated with a rhinolith. The patient underwent successful endoscopic trans-nasal extraction with complete resolution of symptoms and an uneventful recovery. This case highlights the importance of considering intranasal ectopic teeth in the differential diagnosis of persistent unilateral nasal symptoms and underscores the value of CT imaging in establishing the diagnosis. Early endoscopic removal is a safe and effective treatment that can prevent complications such as chronic infection, rhinolith formation, and recurrent sinusitis.
