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

objectivesThe aim of this study was to investigate the occurrence of vertical and horizontal root fractures using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).

methodsWe reviewed the CBCT images of 51 patients who were examined by CBCT for the diagnosis of root fracture. The occurrences of vertical and horizontal root fractures were investigated concerning the pulpal vitality and the kind of tooth, and analyzed by cross-tabulation. The fracture direction of vertical root fracture and the fracture angle were also investigated, and analyzed by cross-tabulation and Kruskal-Wallis test, respectively.

resultsThe occurrence of vertical and horizontal root fractures was statistically significantly different between vital tooth and non-vital tooth (p = 0.044). The occurrence of vertical and horizontal root fractures was also different among anterior, premolar, and molar teeth (p = 0.004). The kind of tooth on traumatized tooth was only anterior teeth and the number was larger on horizontal root fracture. The occurrence of vertical and horizontal root fractures on non-traumatized tooth was different among the kind of tooth (p = 0.007), and the number of vertical root fracture was larger than that of horizontal root fracture on premolar teeth. Fracture direction was not different, but the fracture angle was different among the kind of tooth on vertical root fracture (p = 0.027).

conclusionsThe results suggested that the number of vertical root fracture was larger on non-vital tooth and that of horizontal root fracture was larger on vital tooth. The number of vertical root fracture was larger on premolar teeth.
