The Management of Root Perforation: A Review of the Literature.
Review in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Root canal perforation is defined as an opening or communication of the root to the outer oral tissue that occurs either accidentally during root canal therapy or due to unknown pathological causes, which generally result in complications in patients due to the passage of microorganisms to the surrounding tissues. These complications may necessitate extraction of the affected tooth. In this literature review, 42 articles were reviewed initially; 33 of them were included in the final analysis based on exclusion and inclusion criteria. Root perforation may occur due to caries, external and internal resorption, trauma, as well as iatrogenic causes. Many studies have suggested that perforation can be identified by radiographs, unexpected bleeding and pain during instrumentation, blood on paper points, electronic apex locator, and dental operating microscope. Several materials have been used in endodontic perforation repairs, such as indium foil, super 2-ethoxybenzoic acid (super EBA), as well as bioceramic materials like mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and biodentine. These materials must achieve biocompatibility, bacteriostatic ability, and radio-opacity. Many studies have reported the superior properties of MTA in comparison with other materials. Based on our literature review, management of root perforation should be performed based on multiple significant factors. Clinicians must possess a comprehensive understanding of tooth anatomy to prevent perforation occurrence. Furthermore, clinical management and prognosis of root perforation have been enhanced by the availability of advanced materials and sealing techniques.
