Long-term evaluation of primary teeth molar pulpotomies with Biodentine and MTA: a CONSORT randomized clinical trial.
Trial report in European archives of paediatric dentistry : official journal of the European Academy of Paediatric Dentistry, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
backgroundCalcium silicate-based materials have become widely used in recent years due to their positive effect on pulp cells, which stimulate tertiary dentin formation.
aimThe aim of the present study was to evaluate and compare clinically and radiographically the performance of MTA and Biodentine as pulp-dressing materials following pulpotomy in primary molars at 24-month follow-up.
designMolars from patients aged 4-9 years scheduled for pulpotomy were treated with either MTA or Biodentine followed by a stainless-steel crown. These molars were clinically and radiographically followed up at 6, 12, 18, and 24 months. Statistical analysis was performed to detect differences between the two groups.
resultsA total of 84 pulpotomies were performed obtaining a total success rate of 99.4 and 97.2% for Biodentine and MTA, respectively, at 24 months, showing no statistically significant differences between the two groups.
conclusion24-month follow-up showed that Biodentine and MTA have similar effectiveness.
