Three-dimensional inlay-guided endodontics applied in variant root canals: A case report and review of literature.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
backgroundRoot canal retreatment is common after root canal therapy in clinical situations. Especially, completing the retreatment of variant root canals can be challenging. This is particularly true for the molars located at the end of the dental arch. However, advancements in digital dental diagnosis and treatment techniques can solve these problems. Here, we describe a case of a maxillary second molar with a variant distobuccal root canal treated CASE SUMMARY: A 63-year-old man complained of a defect in the maxillary left second molar. The tooth, diagnosed with post-treatment endodontic disease, was initially treated by conventional methods, which were ineffective. Our "inlay-guided endodontics" technique was subsequently adopted, with the establishment of a precise integrated three-dimensional (3D) plate model of cone-beam computed tomography data and a digital impression of the dentition. An optimal root canal approach was generated for the "virtual file" in the 3D model. The plate data were imported into a 3D printer and printed. With the help of the guide plate, the file was accurately placed into the cervical third of the distal root canal. The root canal and prosthodontic treatments successfully proceeded subsequently.
conclusionOur newly developed inlay guide plates may facilitate individualized and minimally invasive root canal treatment.
