Non-surgical Root Canal Treatment of an Upper First Molar With an Unusual Morphology: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
This paper presents the unusual morphology of an upper right first molar with two roots, each containing a single canal, in a patient seeking emergency endodontic treatment. Clinical and radiographic examinations revealed the unusual root canal morphology of the tooth, which required further investigation using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging, which confirmed this unusual anatomical structure. It was also noted that the upper right first molar was asymmetrical to the upper left first molar, which had the normal three-root morphology. The buccal and palatal canals were instrumented using ProTaper Next Ni-Ti rotary instruments and enlarged to ISO size 30, with a taper of 0.7; irrigated with 2.5% NaOCl; filled with gutta-percha using the warm-vertical-compaction technique, with the aid of a dental operating microscope (DOM); and then confirmed via periapical radiograph. The DOM and CBCT are valuable aids that helped us to confirm the endodontic diagnosis and treatment of this unusual morphology.
