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

objectivesThis study aimed to evaluate the effects of endodontic treatment on the complication rate in abutment teeth following double crown treatment. MATERIALS AND

methodsData of 233 patients supplied with 278 prostheses on 773 teeth were retrospectively analyzed. The 60-month cumulative complication rate for vital, root filled, and post and core reconstructed abutment teeth is calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Cox regression is performed to evaluate factors including age, sex, jaw, and tooth number.

resultsAfter 60 months, the cumulative complication rate for all abutment teeth was 24.1% (CI: 19.7-28.5%). A significantly higher cumulative fracture rate (log-rank test, p < 0.001) was found for devital (51.7%; CI: 35.3-68.1%) compared to vital abutment teeth (20.6%; CI: 16.2-25%). Devital teeth restored with post and core reconstructions (46.3%; CI: 26.1-66.5%) showed a lower cumulative fracture rate than abutment teeth with only root fillings (60.9%; CI: 33.5-88.3%). Abutment teeth in severely reduced dentitions (≤ 3 teeth) were found to have significantly lower survival rates than abutment teeth in not severely reduced dentitions (≥ 4 teeth, p = 0.031, HR = 0.609).

conclusionLower abutment teeth survival rates were associated with non-vitality and a reduced number of abutment teeth. Devital teeth with post and core reconstructions showed higher survival rates than root filled devital teeth. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: After 5 years, devital teeth with double crowns have a fracture rate twice as high as vital teeth. This prognosis should be taken into account during treatment planning, especially in the severely reduced dentition.
