Comparative evaluation of dual-cure resin (TheraCal PT) and Biodentine in coronal pulpotomy of patients with symptoms indicative of irreversible pulpitis: A randomized clinical trial.
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 7 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
Background: New and innovative materials are being marketed for the treatment of coronal pulpotomy. It is crucial to compare their efficacy with already-established materials. TheraCal PT (TP) is such a new material that studies are scarce. Aim: This study aim to compare and evaluate the outcome of coronal pulpotomy using Biodentine and a newly introduced calcium silicate-based dual-cure resin cement, TP, in patients with symptoms of irreversible pulpitis. Materials and Methods: Sixty patients with exposed carious pulp and symptomatic irreversible pulpitis were included, aged 18-40, randomly allocated to two groups: TP (group I) and Biodentine (group II). Coronal pulpotomy was performed following a standardized protocol, with TP or Biodentine applied accordingly. The pain was recorded using Visual Analog Scale preoperatively for up to 1 week. Success was assessed clinically and radiographically for up to 12 months. Statistical Analysis Used: The data were analyzed using the Friedman test and the Mann-Whitney Results: Among 60 patients, intervention was done in 53. By removing dropout patients, 47 were analyzed, with 38 available for follow-up at 3, 6, and 12 months. The Biodentine group exhibited a 12-month success rate of 84%, while the TP group revealed 77.3%, with statistically insignificant difference ( Conclusion: TP can be effectively utilized as a pulpotomy material in cases of symptomatic irreversible pulpitis in mature permanent teeth, offering rapid setting and ease of use, although Biodentine yielded slightly better results in this study.
