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

Objective: The study aimed to compare and evaluate the effect of biodentine (BD) alone, BD along with Lyophilised freeze dried platelet rich concentrate (LPC + BD), and BD along with low-level laser therapy (BD + LLLT) after pulpotomy in mature permanent molars with irreversible pulpitis. Materials and Methods: The study was designed as a randomized, pragmatic, parallel, double-blinded clinical trial registered under the Clinical Trial Registry-India (CTRI/2020/02/023245). 120 permanent molars fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria with symptoms of irreversible pulpitis were randomized after performing pulpotomy into three pulp capping groups: Group 1, BD; Group 2, lyophilized freeze-dried platelet-rich concentrate + BD (LPC + BD); and Group 3, Low level laser therapy + BD Group 3, LLLT + BD. The intergroup comparison was done using one-way analysis of variance followed by the Bonferroni test. The level of significance and confidence interval were 5% and 95%, respectively. Interobserver reliability was measured using Cohen's kappa analysis. Results: At 1 week, there was a significant difference (P < 0.005) observed in the mean postoperative pain levels between the three groups with Group 1 (BD) exhibiting the highest postoperative pain followed by Group 2 (LPC + BD) and least pain was exhibited by Group 3 (LLLT + BD). A similar pattern was observed regarding the analgesic intake with maximum frequency in Group 1 (BD) and least with Group 3 (LLLT + BD). No significant difference in success rates was reported among the groups. Conclusion: Pulpotomy as a treatment option for mandibular molars with irreversible pulpitis has an acceptable clinical success rate; however, long-term overall success rate remains questionable. The outcomes of incorporating adjunctive modalities with BD are remarkable and show tremendous potential for continued development and research.
