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

backgroundThe presence of dens invaginatus (DI) complicates treatment of any tooth, from diagnosis to access cavity and biomechanical preparation and obturation. Reports of successful non-surgical management of DI type IIIB in maxillary lateral incisor are rare. Here, we report such a case, with three root canals and a long follow-up. CASE SUMMARY: A 13-year-old female patient presented with mild pain in the maxillary right lateral incisor (#7) for 10-15 d. On examination, the tooth was slightly rotated, with slight tenderness on percussion and grade I mobility but with no caries, pockets or restorations and non-vital pulp (

conclusionProper knowledge of unusual root canal anatomy is required in treating DI. Conventional methods of root canal treatment can successfully resolve such complex cases, facilitated by DOM and cone-beam computed tomography.
