Clinical and Radiographic Evaluation between Conventional Mineral Trioxide Aggregate and Gel-based Mineral Trioxide Aggregate in Indirect Pulp Therapy: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
Article in International journal of clinical pediatric dentistry, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Indirect pulp treatment (IPT) is often employed in dentistry as a valuable technique for preserving dental vitality. While mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) remains a popular choice, the need for materials with shorter setting times, lower costs, and minimized discoloration concerns has led to the exploration of alternative options. Aim: To evaluate and compare the radiographic and clinical outcomes of gel-based MTA Kids e-MTA (Kids-e-Dental, Mumbai, India) with MTA (ProRoot MTA, Dentsply Tulsa, Johnson City, TN, USA). Materials and methods: A randomized clinical trial was conducted in which participants aged 6-12 years were selected according to inclusion criteria. A sample size of 32 primary molars and young permanent molars with deep caries were treated by IPT with 2 mm ProRoot MTA and e-MTA. The groups were divided into two: group I (ProRoot MTA) and group II (e-MTA), with 16 samples in each group. Clinical and radiographic success, in addition to newly formed dentin thickness, were evaluated regularly at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months. Results: Both groups showed a clinical and radiographic success rate of 100% throughout all follow-up intervals. Analysis of the mean thickness of newly formed dentin at various follow-up intervals revealed no statistically significant difference between the two groups at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months, with p-values of 0.32, 0.33, 0.33, 0.33, and 0.33, respectively.
