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

This is a clinical report of a case of Oehlers type II dens invagination in left maxillary lateral incisor. A 12-year-old female patient was referred to endodontic department of Islamic Azad University. She reported history of pain and swelling on left anterior maxilla. Due to the insufficient information from conventional radiography, cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) was ordered. CBCT revealed apical lucency and two separate canals. Conventional root canal therapy was done using warm vertical technique for invaginated canal. One year follow-up radiographies showed periapical repair and absence of symptoms.
