The study of bone healing after endodontic microsurgery using cone beam computed tomography: A retrospective cohort study.
Article in Journal of clinical and experimental dentistry, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Background: The main aims of this study were to evaluate mean volume reduction, radiographic healing rate and healing outcome two years after endodontic microsurgery. The effects of certain preoperative clinical factors upon preoperative volume, volumetric changes and healing outcome were also studied. Material and Methods: A clinical database was searched for patients who had undergone endodontic microsurgery and with the availability of a cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan preoperatively and after a control period. Volumetric analysis of the periapical area was made to assess volumetric reduction. The modified Penn 3D criteria were applied. The relationship between preoperative volume, volumetric reduction and healing outcome and certain preoperative factors was also studied. Results: Fifty-seven cases were evaluated. Initially, the bone cavities had a median volume of 163.2 mm3, and this volume decreased by 147.7 mm3 after treatment, with a radiographic healing rate of 6.2 mm3 per month. After applying the modified Penn 3D Criteria, 53 cases were classified as successful healing (93%). Regarding the influence of the different preoperative factors, patient age and sex, dental arch and cortical bone significantly influenced preoperative volume, while only the dental arch exerted a significant influence upon volumetric changes and preoperative symptoms on healing outcome. Conclusions: The CBCT data evidenced a significant volume reduction of 79.1%, with a monthly volume reduction rate of 6.2 mm3. The success rate obtained was 93%. Patient age and sex, dental arch and cortical bone influenced preoperative volume, tooth type had an impact upon the volumetric changes, and the preoperative symptoms influenced healing outcome.
