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

Adequate understanding and accurate characterization of normal and unusual root and canal morphology are essential requirements for successful root canal treatment. A new coding system for classifying root and canal morphology, accessory canals and anomalies has been introduced. In addition to technological advances related to experimental studies involving micro-computed tomography, the continuing clinical advances in magnification, illumination, imaging and intra-operative root canal treatment procedures have allowed clinicians to identify an increasingly wide range of anatomical variations in roots and canals in an attempt to achieve more predictable clinical outcomes. This review aims to provide a step-by-step explanation for the clinical application of the new coding system in dental practice, and to describe the anatomical variations in roots and canals for teeth scheduled for root canal treatment.
