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

backgroundThe success rate of conservative endodontic management for root fracture varies greatly based on different methods used. It has been rarely reported that calcium silicate-based materials are applied in root fracture treatment. CASE SUMMARY: A 38-year-old male patient presented with spontaneous pain from the upper left anterior teeth for 1 wk. The spontaneous pain was subsequently relieved, but pain on mastication persisted for 3 d. The patient had a dental trauma from a boxing match 15 years ago. Cone beam computed tomography showed that the maxillary left central incisor had oblique fracture lines and a radiolucent lesion around the fracture line. The tooth was diagnosed with an oblique root fracture with no healing and symptomatic apical periodontitis. In the following conservative endodontic management, the coronal and apical fragments of the canal both were chemo-mechanically prepared and obturated using a single cone gutta-percha with iRoot SP (Innovative BioCreamix Inc, Vancouver, Canada), a new calcium silicate-based bioceramic root canal sealer. At follow-ups at 1, 6, 12, and 24 mo, the patient was asymptomatic and the radiolucency around the fracture line was healing radiographically.

conclusionConservative root canal treatment is an alternative treatment in some cases of oblique root fracture with no healing. The application of bioceramic sealers and single core obturation techniques may also be essential to obtain an excellent outcome.
