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

backgroundDental trauma can cause damage to the pulp tissue in immature teeth. Revascularization therapy is a possible option in the treatment of non-vital, immature permanent teeth with a history of trauma. The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the radiographic and clinical results of immature teeth with a history of trauma treated by regenerative endodontic procedures and mineral trioxide aggregate apexification techniques.

methodsForty-one patients aged between 7 and 12 years with traumatized immature permanent maxillary incisors were included in the study. These patients were divided into two groups: those who had previously received endodontic treatment and those who had not. Twenty-four patients who applied directly to the university clinic and had not received endodontic treatment before were included in the regenerative endodontic protocol group (Group 1). Seventeen patients who had previously undergone endodontic intervention on their relevant teeth were included in the mineral trioxide aggregate apexification group (Group 2). The patients were followed for a period of 24 months. Clinical success rates were evaluated, and pre-treatment and control radiographs were analyzed to calculate the percentage increase in root dentin width and root length.

resultsAfter 24 months of follow-up, positive periapical healing was detected in the radiographic findings in the majority of cases. In Group 1, a limited increase in root length and root dentin width was observed, while a narrowing in the apical opening was evident. The radiographic evaluation of two of the cases, which could be accessed 11 years later, emphasized the importance of long-term follow-up in assessing the effectiveness of the chosen methods.

conclusionThe revascularization method is a treatment option that has positive results in terms of root development in teeth with necrotic pulp as a result of trauma.
