A prospective case series in regenerative endodontics: The effective use of diluted antibiotic hydrogels in endodontic regeneration procedures.
Article in The Saudi dental journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Objective: to investigate the effectiveness of diluted antibiotic hydrogels in endodontic regeneration procedures. Materials and Methods: One conventional treatment (calcium hydroxide) and two experimental treatments containing 1 mg/mL antibiotic in gel (MC-TAP and MC-DAP) were prepared for this study. The effect of these medicaments on the proliferation and differentiation potential of dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) was examined before their clinical use, using WST and ALP assays. Twenty-two teeth diagnosed with necrotic immature roots were treated with calcium hydroxide, MC-TAP or MC-DAP using the endodontic regeneration protocol as described by the American Association of Endodontists (AAE). Teeth were examined after application of the medicament, at the time of regeneration and after 12-24 months. Results: All treated teeth showed resolution of signs and symptoms shortly after treatment with the different medicaments. However, signs and symptoms returned a few months after initial treatment in clinical cases treated with MC-DAP. All successfully treated teeth examined after 12-24 months were free of signs and symptoms, but vitality was not achieved. Conclusion: Low concentration antibiotic gel containing triple antibiotic paste (MC-TAP) can be successfully used for endodontic regeneration procedures.
