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

introductionRegenerative endodontic procedures (REPs) aim to replace damaged dental structures and regenerate the dentin-pulp complex. Initially focused on teeth with incomplete root formation, recent research shows promise for necrotic teeth with complete root formation. METHODOLOGY: This review, following PRISMA guidelines and registered in PROSPERO, included clinical studies on regenerative endodontic therapy in necrotic human teeth with complete root formation. Searches in PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane Library identified 10 studies meeting the criteria.

resultsThe studies showed variable regenerative endodontic protocols and materials, with success rates ranging from 60 to 100%. Most studies reported favorable outcomes, such as symptom resolution and bone healing. DISCUSSION: Regenerative endodontic therapy for necrotic teeth with complete root formation shows high success rates, but the variability in protocols calls for standardized guidelines and further high-quality trials.

conclusionRegenerative endodontic therapy is a promising alternative to conventional treatments for necrotic teeth with complete root formation, with demonstrated potential for restoring pulp vitality.Future research should optimize protocols and materials for consistent success.
