Is the quality of root canal filling obtained by cone-beam computed tomography associated with periapical lesions? A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Clinical oral investigations, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
aimTo evaluate the influence of root canal filling quality on periapical lesion status using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). MATERIALS AND
methodsThe bibliographic search was conducted in electronic databases of PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science without restrictions related to the year of publication and language. Inclusion criteria were prospective or retrospective cohort studies that followed periapical pathosis for, at least, 1 year. Three reviewers independently evaluated the eligibility for inclusion, extracted data, and assessed the risk of bias. The quality of the studies was based on the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. This meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the quality of treatment by the homogeneity and apical extension of the filling.
resultsOf the 1179 studies initially recovered, six cohort studies were included, out of which four were considered with a low risk of bias. The results showed that the absence of gaps in the filling reduced the chance of unhealed periapical lesions by 2.39 times (RR = 2.39; 95% CI: 1.62-3.53; p < 0.00001; I
conclusionThe homogeneity and apical extension of the filling influenced the presence of unhealed periapical lesions in endodontically treated teeth evaluated using CBCT. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Apical extension of the filling ranging between 0 and 2 mm short of the apical foramen and the homogeneity of the filling without gaps are directly related to the success rate of root canal treatment.
