The effect of an antibacterial mixture and non-instrumentation endodontic treatment in primary teeth: A systematic review and meta-analyses.
Review in The Saudi dental journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07773805 (Assessment of the Clinical and Radiographic Success of Calcium Hydroxide Iodoform Paste Versus Modified Triple Antibiotic Paste for the Treatment of Necrotic Primary Molars Using LSTR Technique), which is not on this map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
Studies assessing the clinical and radiographic success of LSTR in terms of the presence of pain, mobility, swelling, fistula/sinus tract, interradicular radiolucency, and root resorption have not been performed. We therefore performed a systematic review with the aim of evaluating the effectiveness of lesion sterilization and tissue repair (LSTR), using three antibacterial mixtures (3Mix), in treating primary teeth. Well-defined search strategies developed for four electronic databases, Web of Science, OVID, PubMed, and Scopus, were used in this study. Two independent reviewers selected relevant articles from 3,232 studies by screening titles and abstracts. Based on the inclusion criteria, 25 articles were selected. Eight analyses of clinical and radiographic results were conducted based on 6, 12, 18, and 24-month follow-up intervals. Data extraction and quality appraisal were performed by three independent reviewers. The composition of antibiotic mixtures used for LSTR varied substantially, with inconsistent radiographic and clinical success rates across the included studies. A quantitative grouping of the studies showed no significant differences between 3Mix and the control medicaments regarding radiographical and clinical success (
