Guided Endodontics as a Personalized Tool for Complicated Clinical Cases.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
The aim of this paper is to present a technique to individualize root canal localization in teeth with calcified root canals using a digitally planned, 3D-printed endodontic guide. Root canal calcification is characterized by the apposition of tertiary dentin along the canal wall. The endodontic treatment of teeth with calcified canals is often challenging. However, digital dentistry meets these challenges. Merging CBCT images with an intraoral scan allows a clinician to prepare an endodontic guide. This article describes the clinical and digital workflow of the guided endodontic access approach in teeth with difficulties in terms of root canal localization due to post-traumatic pulp canal obliteration (PCO) and canal calcification in elderly patients. The path of entry into the root canal system was planned using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). The template was printed on a 3D printer using transparent resin. During root canal treatment (RCT), the endodontic tool was inserted through the sleeve until the desired location was reached. The use of an endodontic guide allowed for minimally invasive RCT, avoiding the excessive loss of tooth structures. Navigated endodontics enables clinicians to perform RCT in a more predictable manner and allows clinicians to avoid iatrogenic complications, which improves the treatment prognosis.
