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

Dental caries (DC)-induced pulp infections usually undergo the common endodontic treatment, root canal therapy (RCT). Endodontically treated teeth are devitalized, become brittle and susceptible for re-infection which eventually results in dental loss. These complications arise because the devitalized pulp losses its ability for innate homeostasis, repair and regeneration. Therefore, restoring the vitality, structure and function of the inflamed pulp and compromised dentin have become the focal points in regenerative endodontics. There are very few evidences, so far, that connect methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase single nucleotide polymorphisms (MTHFR-SNPs) and dental disorders. However, the primary consequences of MTHFR-SNPs, in terms of excessive homocysteine and folate deficiency, are well-known contributors to dental diseases. This article identifies the possible mechanisms by which MTHFR-SNP-carriers are susceptible for DC-induced pulp inflammation (PI); and discusses a cell-homing based strategy for
