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

Understanding root canal morphology is essential for successful endodontic treatment. This study aimed to investigate morphological variations in root and canal systems of anterior and premolar teeth across different age groups and genders in a Saudi Arabian subpopulation using a novel classification system. A total of 3573 maxillary and mandibular anterior and premolar teeth in 209 patients were examined using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in a Saudi subpopulation. The number of roots was identified, and root canal configurations were classified according to Ahmed et al. coding system (Int Endod J 50(8):761-770, 2017). Demographic data including gender (male and female) and age (divided into 6 groups-10-20, > 20-30, > 30-40, > 40-50, > 50-60, > 60-70) were recorded. The Chi-square test was used for statistical analysis, and the significance level was set at 0.05 (P = 0.05). Results showed that maxillary and mandibular central incisors, lateral incisors, and canines predominantly exhibited the
