Submandibular approach for a deeply ectopic mandibular second premolar: surgical decision-making considerations.
Article in Journal of surgical 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
Ectopic teeth are rare entities occurring outside their normal anatomical position, and ectopic mandibular premolars are particularly uncommon. This report describes the management of a deeply ectopic mandibular second premolar located at the inferior border of the mandible. A 16-year-old male patient was referred following incidental radiographic detection. Cone-beam computed tomography revealed buccal cortical perforation and a radiolucent lesion suggestive of a dentigerous cyst. Due to the deep location, limited intraoral access, and proximity to the inferior alveolar nerve, the tooth was removed under general anesthesia using an extraoral submandibular approach. Histopathological examination confirmed a dentigerous cyst. The postoperative course was uneventful, and complete bone healing was observed at 1-year follow-up. The extraoral approach may represent a safe and effective option in selected cases with limited intraoral accessibility.
