Which is the most effective biomaterial in indirect pulp capping? 4- year comparative randomized clinical trial.
Article in European oral research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06256601 (A Clinical Investigation of the Effectiveness of a Calcium Silicate Cement Used in the Treatment of Deep Lesions), which is not on this map. Cited by 5 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.

Abstract
Purpose: The aim of this study is to compare the clinical outcomes of Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) and calcium hydroxide pulp capping after complete caries removal. Materials and methods: In 73 regular patients (47 women, 26 men; age 20.65±3.02 years), having at least one deep carious lesion was recruited. Following complete caries removal, the pulp was indirectly capped with either MTA(n=51) or calcium hydroxide (n =49), randomly. Final restoration with a resin-based composite in a single session was performed. Clinical parameters including pulp vitality, sensitivity to cold or heat stimulants, percussion tests and discomfort during chewing and color were recorded after 6 months, 1 year, 2- year, 3- year and 4- year. Data were analysed statistically (p<0.05). Results: After 4- year, the survival rates were 86% (for MTA), and 82.9% (for calcium hydroxide). Totally, 8 teeth from calcium hydroxide group and 7 teeth from MTA group were endodontically treated. No significant difference was detected between the groups in terms of pulp vitality (p=0.613). Grey discoloration rate was 63% in MTA group. Conclusion: Both pulp-capping materials, MTA and calcium hydroxide showed similar clinically successful performance in terms of pulp vitality in the treatment of deep dentin caries lesions after 4- year.
