Innovative Pulp Preservation: The Use of Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) and Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) in Treating Dental Pulp Exposure.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The dental pulp, essential for tooth vitality, often becomes inflamed when exposed due to caries, fractures, or dislodged restorations. Untreated inflammation can lead to pulpal death, necessitating vital pulp therapies (VPTs) such as pulp capping and pulpotomy. Recent trends favor partial caries removal to avoid overtreatment and preserve pulp health. This shift is illustrated through two cases of young female patients with dislodged restorations and deep caries. Both underwent direct pulp capping using platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), followed by composite restorations. These cases underscore the importance of biocompatible materials like MTA and PRF in maintaining pulp vitality and promoting dental tissue repair.
