External Inflammatory Root Resorption in Traumatized Immature Incisors: MTA Plug or Revitalization? A Case Series.
Article in Children (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
introductionExternal inflammatory root resorption (EIRR) in immature permanent teeth is a common complication after severe dental trauma. The management of this condition requires thorough disinfection of the root canal in order to arrest the resorptive process. However, current guidelines regarding the recommended treatment of EIRR following traumatic dental injuries vary, mainly in regard to the type of intracanal medication and its retention time in the root canal system. The objective of this case series was to present both the apical barrier technique (MTA plug) and revitalization procedures as valid treatment options in immature teeth with EIRR.
methodsFour cases of post-traumatic immature teeth diagnosed with pulp necrosis and EIRR, with or without apical periodontitis, were treated either by an MTA plug (two teeth) or revitalization (two teeth). Cases were followed between 12 and 24 months.
resultsBoth treatment methods were efficient in arresting EIRR and enabled bone healing. After revitalization, partial root maturation was observed.
conclusionWhereas the key to achieve periodontal healing in cases of EIRR is thorough disinfection of the root canal, both a subsequent MTA plug as well as revitalization may represent adequate treatment methods. An additional benefit lies in the potential of revitalization to promote further root maturation through hard tissue apposition.
