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

Maxillary premolars exhibit anatomical variations in the numbers of roots and canals, which pose a challenge during root canal therapy. In the present case report, we describe the endodontic management of a three-rooted maxillary premolar. A 47-year-old Yamani man was referred to the College of Dentistry, Taibah University for endodontic treatment of his right maxillary first premolar (#14). Periapical diagnostic radiography did not provide adequate information about the morphology of the root canal system and number of roots. Subsequently, a 3D cone-beam computed tomographic (CBCT) image was obtained, which revealed three roots in the aforementioned premolar. Root canal treatment was performed under magnification using a dental operating microscope, R25 RECIPROC blue NiTi single file system, and the Calamus dual 3-D obturation system. Clinicians should be able to predict the anatomical variations in maxillary premolars and have adequate knowledge and skills for managing such situations.
