1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

To achieve success in endodontic treatment, it is essential to have a thorough understanding of the root and canal morphology. While maxillary canines typically have a single root and canal, studies have reported variations in different populations. This case report details the non-surgical endodontic management of a maxillary canine (tooth no. 13) with a Vertucci type 3 canal configuration in a 69-year-old female patient. The patient reported pain in the maxillary right canine (#tooth no. 13) and was diagnosed clinically with apical periodontitis. The patient's dental history revealed an ameloblastoma in the right mandibular region, successfully treated five years ago. Cone beam computed tomography aided the treatment. After completing the root canal treatment (#13) involving the two canals, an incidental loop-type accessory canal was noted. After three years of follow-up, the patient reported being asymptomatic. This paper reports the endodontic management of an uncommon type 3 canal configuration in the maxillary canine. Clinicians must remain aware of canal variations and utilize modern diagnostic tools like cone beam computed tomography to ensure all canals are located and adequately treated.
