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

This work aimed to investigate the use of Regenerative Endodontic Procedures (REP) on the treatment of pulp necrosis in mature teeth through systematic review and meta-analysis of evidence on clinical and radiographic parameters before and after REP. A search was performed in different databases on 9 September 2020, including seven clinical studies and randomized controlled trials (RCT). The methodological quality was assessed using Revised Cochrane risk-of-bias (RoB 2) and Before-and-After tools. Meta-analyses were performed to evaluate the success incidences regarding the reduction of periapical lesion and recovery of sensitivity. The certainty of the evidence was assessed using GRADE. Meta-analysis showed a high overall success of 0.95 (0.92, 0.98) I
