Integrated Endodontic and Restorative Management of C-Shaped Canals with Severe Coronal Loss in Mandibular Second Molar: A Case Report.

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
This case report describes the endodontic treatment of a lower right second molar with a C-shaped root canal in a 49-year-old woman exhibiting severe loss of coronal structure. Clinical examination revealed a cavity with temporary filling on tooth 47, which tested negative to cold stimuli but was positive to percussion and bite tests. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan revealed a C-shaped canal morphology with associated periapical radiolucency, graded as CBCT-PAI score 4. The canal was classified as C3 subdivision III (Melton et al), C3 type II (Fan et al), and
