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 knowledge of anatomical variations in the morphology of root canal systems can affect the successful diagnosis to deliver proper endodontic treatment. The current case report enlightens the endodontic management of an anomalous maxillary left central incisor with two roots/root canals, a C-shaped root canal configuration in a maxillary left lateral incisor identified by three-dimensional cone-beam computed tomography imaging as well as the successful aesthetic rehabilitation of maxillary fractured incisors. The chief complaint of patient was a history of trauma during his outdoor play and consequent broken upper front teeth. Tooth #9 was diagnosed with pulpal necrosis accompanied by asymptomatic apical periodontitis with two relatively dilacerated roots while the maxillary left lateral incisor (tooth #10) was diagnosed with necrotic pulp and asymptomatic apical periodontitis having a C-shaped canal. Endodontic treatment for teeth #9 and #10 were performed, followed by post and core fabrication. Tooth reinforcement was achieved with prefabricated un-polymerized glass fiber post for lateral incisor and Interlig Fiber for central incisor. Intentional root canal treatment of tooth #8 was considered to reduce labial inclination. The anomalous maxillary central incisor with two roots is an unexpected variant during endodontic treatment, and the presence of C-shaped canal in lateral incisors is extremely rare requiring careful diagnosis with radiographs, clinical examination along with additional aids;
