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

Conservative endodontics has been introduced about a decade ago. Since then, it has been demonstrated that less canal preparations lead to more dentin preservation resulted in decreased stress on tooth structure, mainly in the coronal third of the root, and potentially a higher resistance to fracture. In addition, smaller and larger canal preparations were comparable with regard to the cleanliness of the root canal. The purpose of this case series was to report on the outcome of root canal treatments following a conservative canal preparation, followed by three-dimensional cleaning technique (intracanal heating and ultrasonic activation of NaOCl).
