Influence of post type on periapical status: a prospective study in a Brazilian population.
Article in Clinical oral investigations, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
objectivesThis prospective study assessed the effect of post type used to restore endodontically treated teeth in the onset, progression, and remission of periapical lesions. MATERIALS AND
methodsOne hundred and forty teeth (92 patients) were endodontically treated and received a glass fiber post or a cast metal post and a final restoration at a University Clinic by undergraduate students. All patients were followed up for a mean period of 5.1 ± 2.2 years. Periapical Index (PAI) was used for endodontic assessment. Two calibrated and blind examiners assessed the radiographs. The longevity of the endodontic treatment was analyzed using Kaplan-Meier statistics.
resultsOf the included teeth, 67.1% received glass fiber posts while 32.9% received cast metal posts. There were 4 endodontic failures, two glass fiber posts with a PAI = 3 in the baseline and PAI = 4 in the last follow-up, and one PAI = 4 in baseline and last follow-up. One cast metal post-failure was PAI = 4 in the baseline and the last follow-up. After 9.4 years, the overall success rate of the endodontic treatment was 97.1% (p = 0.7).
conclusionsThe tested posts presented similar endodontic healing. Precautions taken during endodontic therapy, post cementation, and final restoration are more likely to be responsible for the success of endodontic treatment rather than a specific type of post. Clinical relevance The type of post is not related to the success of the endodontic treatment.
