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

Introduction: This systematic review compared the accuracy of guided endodontics with the conventional method in non-surgical endodontic retreatment. Methods: Two reviewers conducted a systematic search across PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Embase, and Web of Science databases. Inclusion criteria consisted of all Results: Based on our criteria, seven studies were included in this review. The studies demonstrated variability in the techniques utilized. Iatrogenic errors were less frequent in guided groups, regardless of the operator's level of experience. Most studies indicated that guided endodontics was more effective than conventional methods, particularly in fiber post-removal and access through MTA, minimizing volumetric loss of tooth structure, and preserving fracture resistance. However, when using guided techniques for removal of separated instruments, more iatrogenic errors occurred, and more time was required compared to the freehand technique. Conclusion: Guided endodontics has shown promise in improving the outcomes of non-surgical retreatment by reducing complications. However, as all included studies were
