Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Dental Pulp Assessment: A Comprehensive Review.
Review in Journal of magnetic resonance imaging : JMRI, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has recently emerged as a promising modality for dental applications, offering radiation-free imaging with superior soft tissue visualization capabilities compared to x-ray-based techniques such as spiral or cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Conventional radiographic methods or CBCT cannot directly assess the condition of the dental pulp due to their primary focus on hard tissue visualization, whereas the dental pulp is primarily composed of connective tissue. Given the advantages of MRI in soft tissue imaging, this review aims to explore the current application of MRI for dental pulp tissue assessment. Relevant studies concerning the application of MRI for visualizing dental pulp were retrieved from databases including PubMed, Embase, and Scopus. The review explored and discussed the advancements in MRI hardware and software related to dental pulp visualization, as well as the advantages and limitations of MRI in dental pulp studies. Despite remaining limitations, such as scanning time and cost considerations, MRI offers notable benefits, including radiation-free imaging and potentially superior resolution and accuracy compared with other imaging techniques. Consequently, the continued advancement of MRI as a noninvasive diagnostic method in dentistry, particularly for assessing pulp condition, holds substantial promise for improving endodontic diagnosis and subsequent treatment decision-making.
