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

objectiveTo compare the efficacy of single-visit root canal therapy (RCT) and traditional multi-visit RCT for chronic apical periodontitis in anterior teeth.

methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on 106 patients with sinus-type anterior chronic apical periodontitis who underwent root canal treatment during March 2020 and April 2023 at Beijing Hospital of Integrated traditional Chinese and Western Medicine. The patients were divided into an observation group (55 cases, single-visit RCT) and a control group (51 cases, traditional multi-visit RCT) according to different treatment methods.

resultsThere were no significant differences in the sinus tract healing at post-treatment 2 weeks, the pain incidence at post-treatment one month, or clinical composite efficacy at post-treatment 6 months between the two groups (all

conclusionFor patients with chronic sinus-type anterior apical periodontitis, a single-visit RCT can achieve similar results as traditional multiple-visit RCT, but with significantly shorter operation time and less medical cost. This approach is recommended for clinical practice.
