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

introductionThis review aimed to provide a critical appraisal of alternative antimicrobial strategies in lieu of traditional triple antibiotic paste (TAP).

methodsThis review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. The literature search was performed in 8 databases (PubMed/Medline, Embase, LILACS, Web of Science, Scopus, BVS, SciELO, and the Cochrane Library), selecting clinical, in vitro, in vivo, and in situ studies that evaluated antimicrobial alternatives to TAP in regenerative endodontics. Studies lacking an experimental TAP group were excluded.

resultsA total of 1705 potentially relevant records were initially identified. From the 38 studies retrieved for full-text reading, 16 fulfilled all selection criteria and were included in the qualitative analysis. According to the study design, 11 studies were solely in vitro, 1 study was both in vitro and in vivo (animal model), 2 studies were solely animal experiments, and 2 studies were clinical trials. The alternative antimicrobial agents to TAP consisted of modified TAP formulations (eg, a combination of TAP with chitosan); TAP-eluting nanofibers; propolis; chlorhexidine (CHX) gels/solutions; double antibiotic pastes composed of distinct combinations of antibiotics; Ca(OH)

conclusionsTAP still remains an excellent option in terms of the complete elimination of microorganisms. This review points to the use of electrospun fibers as a drug delivery system to offer a controlled release of the antimicrobial agent, as well as the use of natural compounds, deserving future investigation.
