Prevalence of pulp stones in IOPA radiographs.
Article in Journal of advanced pharmaceutical technology & research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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 presence of calcifications or hard deposits within the pulp chamber of the teeth is referred to as pulp stones. There is a geographic and ethnic variation in the occurrence of these calcifications in the population. The article assessed the occurrence of pulp stones. As a secondary objective, the gender or age difference was also assessed. This study was carried out retrospectively by analyzing the archived dental radiographs. A total of 100 radiographs were taken for the analysis based on random sampling. The selected samples were scanned for the occurrence of pulp stones. From a total of 100 subjects, 15% had more than one pulp stone. This study revealed the prevalence of dental stones in the sample population was low. However, of the teeth examined, the mandibular arch had a higher incidence when compared to the maxillary arch. No significant correlation was found among gender or age. Further studies on a larger scale are required to find possible associations that would help determine clinical outcomes.
