Conservative Management of Horizontal Root Fracture: A Case Report.
Article in Clinical case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
In cases where permanent teeth have closed apices and completely erupted roots, the probability of root fractures is increased due to the stable support given by the adjacent bone and periodontal tissues. Fractures have the potential to affect several dental structures, including the pulp, dentin, cementum, bone, and periodontal tissues. In cases of horizontal root fractures (HRF), the apical section typically maintains vitality; however, the present case presented an unusual apex necrosis. Given the patient's age and tooth stability, traditional apical surgery was deemed inappropriate. Instead, a conservative treatment approach was chosen to preserve the tooth. This case report details the management and a 2-year follow-up of a maxillary central incisor exhibiting a HRF and apical necrosis, successfully addressed through the application of Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) in the both apical and coronal segments. Using MTA prevented apical surgery in cases of apex necrosis accompanied by HRF.
