Accuracy of Dynamic Navigation for Non-Surgical Endodontic Treatment: A Systematic Review.
Review in Journal of clinical medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
In recent years, the application of Guided Endodontics has gained interest for non-surgical endodontic treatment and retreatment. The newest research focuses on the accuracy of Dynamic Navigation (DN). This article systematically reviewed existing data on the accuracy of non-surgical endodontic treatment procedures that were completed using DN. Following the PRISMA criteria, an electronic database search was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Cochrane Library. Studies comparing the accuracy of non-surgical endodontic treatment using DN and the conventional freehand technique were eligible. The literature search resulted in 176 preliminary records. After the selection process six studies were included. The risk of bias was evaluated using the modified Cochrane Collaboration Risk of Bias 2.0 tool. Five studies examined the aid of DN for planning and executing endodontic access cavities, and one for fiber post removal. In two studies, endodontic access cavities were performed in teeth with pulp canal obliteration. The main outcomes that were measured in the included studies were preparation time, global coronal entry point and apical endpoint deviations, angular deviation, tooth substance loss, qualitative precision, number of unsuccessful attempts or procedural mishaps. The risk of bias was rated from low to raising some concerns. Overall, DN showed increased accuracy compared to the freehanded technique and could be especially helpful in treating highly difficult endodontic cases. Clinical studies are needed to confirm the published in vitro data.
