Predictor Mandibular Dentoalveolar Features on the Occurrence of 1-Rooted/C-Shaped Mandibular Second Molar Teeth.
Article in European endodontic journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveThis study aimed to examine the mandible form features of the mandible, such as inter-second molar width, anteroposterior length, arch perimeter length, arch breadth, corpus height/width in the mandibular second molars (MnSM) region, and arch form, and the relation for the occasion of the 1-rooted/C-shaped.
methodsThe study analyzed cone-beam computed tomography images of 215 male and 215 female Turkish patients to determine the prevalence of 1-rooted and C-shaped MnSM. Mandibular dentoalveolar characteristics of individuals with bilateral (1R-1R group) and unilateral (1R-2R group) 1-rooted MnSM were examined and compared with those with bilateral 2-roots (2R-2R group) MnSM. Statistical tests were performed using Chi-square, one-way ANOVA, Tukey, and binary logistic regression analysis at the 5% significance level.
resultsThe prevalence of 1-rooted and 1-rooted/C-shaped MnSM was 12.79% and 9.65%, respectively. Root fusion was more commonly present in females (p<0.05). In the 1R-1R group, the anteroposterior length was shorter than in the 2R-2R group (p<0.05). There was no difference between the groups for other features (p>0.05).
conclusionAlthough the study found a shorter anteroposterior length in the 1R-1R group, no feature was a predictive variable for 1-rooted/C-shaped MnSM.
