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 dislodgement during oral and maxillofacial surgery is an uncommon, but potentially serious complication. We report a case of intraoperative tooth loss with asymptomatic supraglottic retention during oral surgery under general anesthesia. A 55-year-old man underwent bilateral maxillary endoscopic sinus surgery (MESS) under general anesthesia. A severely mobile mandibular tooth was missing during surgery, although the ventilation and hemodynamic parameters remained stable. As the patient showed no evidence of airway compromise and the location of the tooth was uncertain, radiographic localization was performed after completion of the procedure. Portable radiograph revealed a tooth-shaped foreign body in the laryngeal region. Subsequent videolaryngoscopic examination revealed a tooth lodged beneath the epiglottis and above the vocal cord. The tooth was successfully removed using Magill forceps and the patient recovered without any respiratory complications. This case highlights that a dislodged tooth may remain undetected in the supraglottic airway despite stable respiratory parameters. Radiographic localization, followed by targeted video laryngoscopic retrieval, has enabled successful management.
