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

Regenerative endodontic treatment (RET) has been considered a reliable procedure to treat immature necrotic teeth; however, the effect of dental trauma on the prognosis of RET is questionable. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the current level of evidence for revascularization techniques (the RET) in the management of traumatized necrotic immature permanent teeth with or without periapical radiolucent areas. Four electronic databases-PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Embase-were searched until November 2022. Only randomized clinical trials, cohort studies, and case-control studies with a minimum of 10 cases and 12 months of follow-ups were included. The search identified 363 preliminary results. After discarding the duplicates and screening the titles, abstracts, and full texts, 13 articles were considered eligible. The results showed that RET techniques seemed to have high survival and success rates, 93.8% and 88.3%, respectively, in the treatment of traumatized necrotic immature permanent teeth. Root maturation with RET techniques seemed to be lower in traumatized teeth. Future studies are needed to evaluate root maturation in traumatized teeth using 3-dimensional radiographic evaluations. In addition, the lack of literature on the studies comparing RET and apexification (calcium hydroxide or an MTA) in the treatment of traumatized necrotic immature teeth highlights the necessity for high-level clinical studies comparing these treatment modalities.
