Pulpal response to partial pulpotomy versus full pulpotomy procedures in puppies: An experimental study.
Article in PloS one, 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
backgroundA Partial pulpotomy technique is an alternative choice of treatment for immature permanent teeth with exposed vital pulps. This study aimed to compare the histopathological pulpal response of the primary teeth of puppies after partial pulpotomy and full pulpotomy using mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA). MATERIALS AND
methods72 primary premolars from experimental puppies aged 6-8 weeks were equally divided into test and control groups, as MTA partial pulpotomy (MTA-PP) and MTA full pulpotomy (MTA-FP). After 60 days, the teeth were extracted and examined histologically. The specimens were assessing the extent and intensity of inflammatory response (acute or chronic), necrosis, fibrosis, calcific bridge (presence or absence), pulp calcification, and pathological root resorption.
resultsThe Inflammation intensity was lower (2.8%) in MTA-PP than in MTA-FP (16.7%) (P = 0.004). MTA-FP also had a significantly higher percentage of localized (27.8%) and diffuse (11.1%) necrosis (P = 0.014), whereas both groups (P = 0.290) had an equal fibrosis degree. A calcific bridge was observed in 72.2% of cases. Meanwhile, pathological internal root resorption was more evident in MTA-FP (63.9%) than in MTA-PP (19.4%) (P <0.0001).
conclusionPartial MTA pulpotomy procedure demonstrated promising histological findings that can be applied to vital-pulp therapy in primary teeth.
