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 evaluate the outcome of teeth filled with a single cone technique and a premixed bioceramic sealer at 3 years of follow-up.

methodsHealthy patients were consecutively treated by a cohort of postgraduate operators. Root canal filling procedures were performed with NiTi rotary instrumentation, while non-surgical retreatments were performed using NiTi reciprocating instruments. Root canal filling procedures were performed using Ceraseal and the single cone technique. Post-endodontic restorations were performed after 15 days. Provisional and definitive crowns were positioned in case of non-sufficient coronal structure. Periapical radiographs were made before treatment, after filling, and at each follow-up visit (6, 12, 24 and 36 months). The periapical Index (PAI) was used to assess the presence of periapical lesions and their modifications over time. Success (absence of periapical radiolucency, PAI <3) and survival rates were evaluated. The presence of apical extrusion was also radiographically assessed. Linear regression analysis was used to investigate changes in mean PAI scores, and logistic regression analysis was used to investigate changes in the percentage of healed cases. All analyses were replicated using two distinct approaches: per protocol (PP) (treatments who completed the follow-up) and intention to treat (ITT) (all root canal treatments). A significance level of 5% was used for all statistical tests (α=0.05).

resultsFifty-eight endodontic treatments in 52 patients were performed (ITT). Thirty-eight endodontic treatments in 33 patients completed the 3 years of follow-up with a survival rate of 92.7%. The success rate was 85.4% (PP).

conclusionThe use of Ceraseal associated with the single cone technique was safe in maintaining endodontically affected teeth. (EEJ-2024-01-02).
