Frequency and Types of Periapical Radiographic Lesions Associated With Pulpitis in a Tertiary Care Hospital.

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
Objective This cross-sectional study aimed to determine the frequency and types of periapical radiographic lesions (PARLs) associated with pulpitis in patients visiting a tertiary care hospital. Methodology A sample of patients diagnosed with pulpitis, aged 18 years or older, was recruited following a convenient sampling technique. Clinical examinations were conducted to confirm the diagnosis, and radiographic evaluations, including periapical (PA), occlusal, orthopantomogram (OPG), and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) radiographs were obtained. The radiographs were evaluated for the presence of PA lesions, and the type, size, and location of the lesions were documented. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 25.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA). Results A total of 120 patients (equal gender ratio) with a mean age of 32.6 ± 6.39 years participated in the study. PA views were the most frequently performed radiographic view (86.7%), followed by occlusal views (8.3%). The most prevalent radiographic lesion was the
