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
The management of an endodontic failure in a traumatized tooth with an open apex presents a major dilemma. The arrest of root growth after traumatic injury is a substantial consequence of pulpal necrosis. Conventional endodontic treatment procedures will be challenging by the resulting thin, fragile dentinal walls, which will impede the appropriate debridement and optimal apical sealing. Apexification is a well-established procedure that is designed to treat or preserve a tooth with an incomplete root apex and necrotic pulpal tissue by promoting the formation of a calcified apical barrier through the application of a bioactive substance at the root apex. The present case report demonstrates a successful apexification procedure for an endodontically failed permanent central incisor with an open apex with a two-year follow-up time. The clinical and radiographical results revealed the absence of signs and symptoms and the formation of hard tissue at the root apex. The tooth was extracted for prosthodontic reasons and processed for histologic examination. The histologic evaluation revealed dentin-like and cementum-like tissues formed at the apical barrier.
