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

Removing a fiber post from a root canal that requires endodontic retreatment is often very challenging. Conventional freehand techniques for removing fiber posts are time-consuming, sometimes result in iatrogenic errors, and heavily rely on the practitioner's experience. The endodontic static guide can be an alternative method. While the use of an endodontic 3D-printed static guide for fiber post removal has been reported as highly successful, it can also cause complications. Skipping any critical steps during the guide construction or its clinical application can lead to errors. This case report presents the saving of a compromised tooth with a fractured fiber post and a periapical lesion around the apex through the use of an endodontic static guide for fiber post removal. This study describes possible sources of error that may happen during construction and clinical use of the guide.
