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

The present study reported on the case of a 10-year-old male patient with four second premolar teeth undergoing regenerative endodontic procedures (REPs) for periapical periodontitis due to abnormal central cusp fracture, and the follow-up over 7 years. Annual follow-up clinical and radiographic examinations were performed to assess the effectiveness of treatment. After the initial RPEs, the apical inflammation of teeth #15 and #45 disappeared and their roots continued to develop. However, teeth #25 and #35 exhibited different signs of inflammation and were treated with calcium hydroxide apexification and the second REPs, respectively. Subsequently, the narrowing of the apical foramen and healing of periapical inflammation were observed. The root of tooth #35 continued to develop but still exhibited apical inflammation. In the present case, apexification with calcium hydroxide and the second REPs were used as alternative interventions for teeth that failed after REPs. However, interventional treatment after a failure was not able to predict outcomes, necessitating a further study with a large number of cases for observational description.
