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

Objectives: The necessity of retrograde filling after apicoectomy is controversial in cases of non-inflammatory cysts as opposed to bacteria-related periapical abscesses. This study aims to investigate whether the presence or absence of retrograde filling during apicoectomy has differential long-term prognostic implications between inflammatory and non-inflammatory cysts. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study included patients who underwent tooth apicoectomy during jaw cyst enucleation between 2013 and 2022, and who underwent follow-up cone-beam computed tomography for at least 6 months. The prognosis of the tooth was evaluated during the follow-up period according to the cyst type, the presence or absence of retrograde filling, mandible or maxilla, and location. Results: A total of 147 teeth was included in this study. All the operated teeth underwent preoperative root canal treatment by an endodontic specialist. Apicoectomy was performed for 119 inflammatory cysts and 28 non-inflammatory cysts. Retrograde filling was performed on 22 teeth with inflammatory cysts and 3 teeth with non-inflammatory cysts. All teeth survived the 3.5-year follow-up (range, 1.0-9.1 years). However, 1 tooth with an inflammatory cyst developed complications 1 year after surgery that required re-endodontic treatment. Conclusion: The prognosis of a tooth treated by apicoectomy without retrograde filling during cyst enucleation is favorable, regardless of the cyst type.
