Treatment of vital teeth involved in the extension of inflammatory radicular cysts: a systematic review.
Synthesis in Acta odontologica latinoamericana : AOL, 2024. 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
An inflammatory radicular cyst (IRC) is an odontogenic cyst associated to a non-vital tooth, which may affect sound teeth. There is lack of consensus on whether to perform endodontic treatment on teeth involved in the extension of the lesion prior to surgical treatment.
aimTo identify and quantify the therapies most often used on teeth with positive response to pulp tests that are involved in the extension of an IRC, and analyze the criteria upon which different authors based their decisions. Identify and evaluate the reliability of the dental pulp tests used for evaluation and deciding on treatment. MATERIALS AND
methodA review was performed of articles indexed in four databases from 2011 to 2023. The review included studies describing diagnosis and treatment of teeth involved in the extension of an inflammatory cyst.
resultsFifteen articles were included in the review: nine case reports, five literature reviews and one comment to the editor. The case reports address 10 cystic lesions, directly associated with a total 21 sound teeth. Three of them report loss of tooth sensitivity, three report preemptive endodontic treatment of teeth with preserved sensitivity, two report recovery of previously lost sensitivity, and one reports preservation of sensitivity after surgical treatment. One of the literature reviews addresses the issue of treating teeth adjacent to a cystic lesion, while the other four, and the comment to the editor, discuss the methods for detecting sensitivity and vitality.
conclusionClinical studies with long-term follow-up are needed in order to reach a consensus regarding treatment. Better understanding of pulp status is essential in order to select the treatment best suited to each clinical case.
