Endodontic Treatment of C-shaped Mandibular Premolars: A Case Report and Review of Literature.
Article in Iranian endodontic journal, 2021. 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
Our article aimed to present a curious case of a mandibular premolar with a C-shaped root canal and to review the available literature on this anatomical variation. Mandibular premolar teeth account for the greatest endodontic challenges in the course of treatment on account of the morphological variations in their root canal systems, including extra root(s)/canal(s) or a C-shaped configuration. A 20-year-old female patient was referred to the Department of Endodontics of Mashhad Faculty of Dentistry, suffering from abscess, and pain while chewing. On examination the culprit was found to be the left mandibular first premolar. Following special tests and periapical radiography, we found an amalgam restoration proximate to the non-vital pulp chamber, as well as an unusually complex root canal anatomy with periapical radiolucency. A non-surgical root canal treatment with the aid of a dental operating microscope was considered as the treatment plan. Clinicians should always anticipate the presence of a C-shaped configuration in mandibular premolars, and make use of all the available tools to locate and treat such cases. A substantial knowledge of root canal anatomy would be prudent to ensure a successful outcome ensuing surgical and non-surgical root canal treatments.
