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

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to analyze the canal configuration of mesiobuccal root (MBR) of the maxillary molars in the Saudi subpopulation using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and to compare if there is any gender and arch variation. Methodology: In this cross-sectional retrospective evaluation study, analysis of CBCT scans of MBRs of 400 maxillary first and second molars was done that has undergone CBCT scanning for diagnostic/treatment purposes in the private clinic of Jeddah, KSA. Statistical analysis was performed using Student's Results: Type I, II, and III canal configurations have been reported to be the most common morphologies in the MBR in both first and second molars, with the incidence of 20.25% (81), 17.25% (69), and 17.25% (69), respectively. Type I canals were significantly ( Conclusion: The data indicate high prevalence of MB2 canals with varying canal configurations. Preoperative CBCT imaging should always be done in tooth-like maxillary molars, to understand the complex configurations and variations and to achieve higher success while performing root canal treatment.
