Influence of periapical lesion volume on the radiodensity of surrounding bone: A CBCT study.
Article in Journal of conservative dentistry and endodontics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Aim: This study assesses if the size of periapical lesions has an effect on the bone immediately peripheral to an apical lesion. Methods: Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of 271 periapical lesions were analyzed using Mimics Research Results: The radiodensity of bone peripheral to the apical lesion increased significantly up to 1.0 mm around the lesion's perimeter. In addition, lesions with higher CBCTPAVI scores showed a significantly greater difference in the radiodensity from the lesion to the lesion border and the peripheral bone, compared to lesions with smaller CBCTPAVI scores. Conclusions: This study for the first time shows the influence of periapical lesion size on the radiodensity of bone peripheral to an apical lesion. Variations in radiodensity at the perimeter of a periapical lesion can be influenced by the size of the lesion, possibly indicating differences in defense response. Knowledge of these phenomena may provide information on bone healing and enhance our understanding of bone peripheral to a periapical lesion.
