Direct pulp capping (DPC) in primary molars using (3Mix-MP) and the characteristics of the carious lesion as predictor factors for its success: a randomized controlled trial.

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
purposeThis study aimed at the following: (a) To evaluate the effectiveness of direct pulp capping (DPC) in children's primary molars using a combination of three antibiotics (3Mix-MP) as direct pulp capping materials compared with Calcium Hydroxide and (b) to assess the impact of pulp exposure diameter, its location and restoration extent on the success rate of the technique.
methodsThis was a randomized double-blind, parallel, two-arm controlled trial. Forty-four primary molars with deep active caries, whose removal resulted in pulp exposures, were treated with direct pulp capping and were allocated randomly into two groups: Group A, DPC with 3Mix-MP; and group B, DPC with Calcium Hydroxide (CH). All teeth were restored with composite resin restorations. The exposures were classified according to their diameter, location and number of the filling surfaces. Clinical follow-ups were performed at intervals of 3 months for 1 year, and radiographical follow-ups were done after 6-12 months. Data were assessed using Chi-squared test (χ2) at a 0.05 level of significance and binary logistic regression was performed to determine the effect of the characteristics of the carious lesion on success rates.
resultsThe success rate of the technique was 54.5% in group A and 77.3% in group B, but the difference was not statistically significant. The pulp exposure diameter, its location and the number of the filling surfaces did not affect the success rate significantly.
conclusion(a) Direct pulp capping in primary teeth achieved comparable success rates with no significant difference between 3Mix-MP and Calcium hydroxide. (b) The exposure location, its diameter and the extent of the restoration had no significant impact on the success rates of direct pulp capping in primary teeth.
