1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundMinimally-invasive techniques for the management of carious dental tissue has been well documented. This study aimed to report on the clinical and radiographic response after partial caries removal on left mandibular primary second molar. CASE REPORT: A 6-year-old boy sought treatment because of pain in the left mandibular primary second molar. The tooth had a deep caries lesion on the occlusal surface, with loss of enamel structure and dentine proximity with the pulp confirmed by periapical radiograph. According to the clinical and radiographic diagnosis, partial caries removal was the treatment of choice. Calcium hydroxide cement was used as pulp capping material. FOLLOW-UP: In this case report, partial caries removal showed satisfactory clinical and radiographic outcomes after 18-month following-up period.

conclusionPartial caries removal only is applicable when properly indicated. However, further clinical studies with longer following-up periods are necessary.
