Comparison of the Estimated Radiographic Remaining Dentine Thickness with the Actual Thickness Below the Deep Carious Lesions on the Posterior Teeth: An in vitro Study.
Article in European endodontic journal, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveMaintaining the remaining dentine thickness (RDT) is crucial because it acts as a protection barrier to the vital pulp tissue against injury and inflammatory products. Based on the relationship between the radiographic RDT (RRDT) and actual RDT (ARDT), we aimed to develop a validated method for guiding dentists in estimating the RDT before caries excavation.
methods30 extracted human teeth were subject to the two-stage experimentation of exposure to cone beam radiography and measurement of actual remaining dentine after sectioning. RRDT and ARDT were recorded, and the difference was statistically analyzed.
resultsA significant difference in the mean values of the estimated difference in dentine thickness was observed (P<0.05). There was no significant difference between molars and premolars as they exhibited a similar range in the difference of the RDT.
conclusionIt is challenging to find a stable relationship between RRDT and ARDT.
