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

introductionThis study is aimed at answering the following question: "Does the timing of periodontal intervention influence the periapical/periodontal repair in endodontic-periodontal lesions?". MATERIAL AND

methodsSix electronic databases were systematically searched for studies published up to April 2022, without restriction of language or year of publication, following the PIOS strategy: (P) adult patients with a diagnosis of endodontic-periodontal lesions, (I) endodontic and periodontal treatment, (O) periapical and periodontal healing, and (S) clinical studies. Risk of bias assessment was performed with the revised Cochrane risk of bias tools for randomized trials (RoB 2) and non-randomized interventions (ROBINS-I). The overall quality of evidence was assessed through the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) tool.

resultsThree studies (one prospective, one retrospective, and one randomized clinical trial) were included in the present review. Non-randomized studies had a critical and serious risk of bias. The randomized clinical trial had some concerns risk of bias. Non-randomized studies reported that the endodontic intervention should be performed previous to the periodontal intervention. Randomized clinical trial reported improvements when endodontic and periodontal interventions were performed simultaneously. GRADE analysis showed a very low quality of evidence for both randomized and nonrandomized studies.

conclusionsBased on the evidence from the included studies, although it is suggested that the endodontic treatment should be performed prior to periodontal treatment, it is not possible to assure the best treatment sequence for endodontic-periodontal lesions. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Evidences suggests that although the endodontic intervention should be the first therapy of choice, it was not possible to specify the best time to perform the periodontal intervention.
