Pulp bleeding color is an indicator of clinical and histohematologic status of primary teeth.

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
objectivesThis study was carried out to investigate whether the changes in hematologic characteristic and color of pulpal bleeding is associated with clinical and histologic status of the pulp in primary teeth. MATERIALS AND
methodsA total of 211 primary molars in 103 patients, 3-6 years old, were treated. One hundred eight teeth had pulpectomy, 57 teeth had pulpotomy after pulp exposure during caries excavation, and 46 teeth had pulpotomy after accidental pulp exposure in sound dentin. After pulpal exposure, pulpal blood was collected in capillary tubes for blood color and hematologic assessment. Coronal and radicular pulp tissues were amputated for histologic assessment.
resultsBlood color was significantly darker in pulpectomy cases and samples with severe inflammation. The differences were clinically perceptible by the human eye. A significant negative correlation was detected between white blood cell (WBC) count and blood color. The counts of neutrophils and lymphocytes were significantly different between treatment groups. In addition, WBC, eosinophil, monocyte, neutrophil, and basophils counts were significantly different between degrees of inflammation in coronal pulp. Moreover, severe inflammation was higher in pulpectomy group versus pulpotomy groups. Pulp tissue calcification was also significantly higher in the pulpectomy cases.
conclusionsConsidering the significant difference in pulpal blood color between the pulpectomy and pulpotomy cases, and between the different levels of pulpal inflammation; blood color can be a valid clinical diagnostic criterion of pulpal status and can be used for the selection of appropriate pulp treatment strategy. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: This study shows that pulp bleeding color can be used for selection of an appropriate pulp treatment method in primary teeth.
