Saving a Mandibular Molar With Distal Root Resorption: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
In this case study, an all-ceramic (Emax) crown and a post and core restoration are used to successfully treat external inflammatory root resorption (EIRR) in a mandibular molar. A 21-year-old male patient was diagnosed with EIRR and hypercementosis after presenting with pain and significant damage to his lower right first molar. The patient chose a post and core restoration over extraction and implant placement due to budgetary constraints. Endodontic retreatment, fiber post cementation, core buildup, and Emax crown placement were all part of the treatment. At the one-year follow-up, the patient had a healed periapical region, healthy gingiva, and sound tooth structure. In managing EIRR cases, this case study emphasizes the importance of meticulous treatment planning and execution, focusing on selecting the best course of action for the long-term stability and health of the affected tooth. Both the patient's overall dental health and the expertly crafted restoration contributed to the favorable outcome.
