An In-Vitro Study of the Root Canal Configuration of Mandibular First Premolars in a Bengali Subpopulation Using Cone-Beam Computed Tomography.

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
aimThis study aims to analyze the root canal configuration system of mandibular first premolars in the Bengali subpopulation using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). MATERIALS AND
methodsBased on Vertucci's classification, the root canal morphology of 100 randomly selected mandibular first premolars in 56 males and 44 females from the Bengali subpopulation of West Bengal was assessed in vitro. The location of the apical foramen, lateral canal, C-shaped canal, types of canal orifice cross-sections, minor constriction diameter, tooth length, and root length were noted. A chi-square test was conducted to test the categorical variables at a 5% significance level.
resultsVertucci's type I (75%, n=75), followed by Vertucci's type V (23%, n=23), were significantly more common in the present study sample. Most of the two-rooted teeth showed a division at the middle one-third (82.8%, n=18). Cross-sectional evaluation of the samples inferred that an ovular cross-section was most common (78%, n=78). All the above-mentioned proportions were significantly higher (P<0.0001). A C-shaped canal was found in 19% (n=19) of the study samples, and significant associations were found.
conclusionVertucci type I and type V canal configurations are the most frequently observed in mandibular first premolars among a Bengali sub-population.
