Successful retreatment of a maxillary central incisor with a wide-open apex using MTA to fill the entire canal: 24-year follow-up.
Article in Australian endodontic journal : the journal of the Australian Society of Endodontology Inc, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Managing teeth with open apices can be a challenging scenario for clinicians. This case report describes the 24-year follow-up of a maxillary central incisor that failed to develop after a traumatic injury resulting in a wide-open apex. A 10-year-old girl presented complaining of discomfort in her upper teeth. Tooth #9 had received a traumatic blow several years before and was discoloured with a resin composite restoration on the mesio-incisal edge. The tooth was painful to percussion and palpation. An inadequate root canal filling and incomplete root formation were observed on the initial periapical radiograph. Root canal retreatment was initiated, and the canal filled entirely with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) because of the extremely wide canal and open apex. The patient was asymptomatic at the 24-year follow-up with the cone beam computed tomography and periapical radiographs demonstrating the stability of the MTA.
