Observation on the effect of periodontal treatment on patients with combined periodontal-pulpal lesions.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
objectiveTo evaluate the effect of periodontal treatment on combined periodontal-pulpal lesions.
methodsA total of 327 patients with periodontal-pulpal lesions (360 affected teeth) were selected, and all affected teeth were treated with a complete root canal, and assigned into group A (periodontal treatment group, 180 affected teeth) and group B (non-periodontal treatment group, 180 affected teeth). Group A received periodontal basic treatment for 2 weeks after the completion of root canal treatment; 6 weeks later, if there were still more than 5 mm periodontal pockets and bleeding after detection, flap treatment was performed. Group B received root canal treatment and supragingival scaling. Follow-up was conducted at 3, 6, 12 and 24 months after surgery by observing the periodontal depth (PD), alveolar bone resorption and tooth mobility (TM).
resultIn group A, the PDs before operation and 2 years after operation were (5.966±1.877) mm and (5.133±1.935) mm, and the PD was significantly decreased. In group B, the PDs before operation and 2 years after operation were (5.533±1.856) mm and (6.167±1.927) mm, and the PD was increased. There was no statistical difference in preoperative TM between the two groups (P>0.05). Two years after operation, TM in group A was significantly lower than that in group B (P<0.05). In terms of X-ray performance, there was no significant change in alveolar bone resorption in group A two years after operation compared with that before operation (P>0.05); two years after operation, alveolar bone resorption in group B was significantly reduced compared with that before operation (P<0.05).
conclusionPeriodontal treatment is a promising technique for patients with combined periodontal-pulpal lesions.
