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
purposeTo investigate the root canal morphology of mandibular incisors using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). MATERIALS AND
methodsA total of 353 patients with 1,412 healthy, well-developed mandibular incisors were enrolled. Radiographic examination by CBCT was conducted as part of their routine examination, diagnosis and treatment planning. The following observations were made using CBCT: (1) the number of roots; (2) the number of canals; (3) canal configuration according to Vertucci's classification; (4) the position of root canal bifurcations.
resultsTwo canals were found in 10.9 % of mandibular central incisors, 25.5 % of lateral incisors and in 18.2 % of all the 1,412 mandibular incisors. Significantly, more lateral incisors possessed two canals than central incisors (p < 0.05). Of the teeth with two canals, type III incisors were the most prevalent, followed by types II, IV and V. Furthermore, 37.7 % of teeth were found to have root canal bifurcations that were at or near to the cortical-middle third junction regions of the roots.
conclusionRoutine mode CBCT imaging was clinically useful for detection of two canals and determines the position of root canal bifurcations in mandibular incisors.
