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

Few studies have examined the longevity of endodontically treated teeth in nonacademic clinical settings where most of the population receives its care. This study aimed to quantify the longevity of teeth treated endodontically in general dentistry practices and test the hypothesis that longevity significantly differed by the patient's age, gender, dental insurance, geographic region, and placement of a crown and/or other restoration soon after root canal treatment (RCT). This retrospective study used deidentified data of patients who underwent RCT of permanent teeth through October 2015 in 99 general dentistry practices in the National Dental Practice-Based Research Network (Network). The data set included 46,702 patients and 71,283 RCT permanent teeth. The Kaplan-Meier (product limit) estimator was performed to estimate survival rate after the first RCT performed on a specific tooth. The Cox proportional hazards model was done to account for patient- and tooth-specific covariates. The overall median survival time was 11.1 y; 26% of RCT teeth survived beyond 20 y. Tooth type, presence of dental insurance any time during dental care, placement of crown and/or receiving a filling soon after RCT, and Network region were significant predictors of survival time (
