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

Aim: This clinical trial aimed to compare the clinical success of coronal pulpotomy and indirect pulp capping (IPC) in managing symptomatic deep proximal caries in molars with moderate pulpitis over a 12-month period. Materials and Methods: A total of 108 vital mature permanent molars with moderate pulpitis were randomly allocated to the IPC ( Results: There was a statistically significant difference between preoperative symptoms and the cold pulp sensibility test response ( Conclusion: Coronal pulpotomy with Biodentine proved more effective in reducing symptoms, achieving radiographic success, and ensuring tooth survival compared to IPC with calcium hydroxide.
