Present status and future directions - Guided endodontics.
Review in International endodontic journal, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 62 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
Luxation injuries and other stimuli may lead to a pulp canal obliteration (PCO). Even though the apposition of tertiary dentine is a sign of a vital pulp, in some cases root canal treatment is indicated in the long term due to apical periodontitis or pulpitis. Depending on the extent of PCO, root canal treatment may be challenging even for experienced and well-equipped endodontic specialists. The 'guided endodontics' (GE) technique was introduced 6 years ago as an alternative to conventional access cavity preparation for teeth with PCO and apical pathosis or irreversible pulpitis. Using three-dimensional radiological imaging such as cone-beam computed tomography and a digital surface scan, an optimal access to the orifice of the calcified root canal can be planned virtually with appropriate software. GE is implemented either with the help of templates analogous to guided implantology (= static navigation) or by means of dynamic navigation based on a camera-marker system. GE has emerged as a field of research in the last 6 years with very promising laboratory-based results regarding the accuracy of guided endodontic access cavities for both static and dynamic navigation. Clinical implementation seems to provide favourable results, but the evidence is mainly based on numerous case reports and a few case series. This narrative review aims to provide an update on the present status of GE and to identify relevant research areas that could contribute to further improvements of this technique.
