Clinician Decision-Making for the Endodontic Treatment of Immature Permanent Teeth: A National Survey of Pediatric Dentists and Endodontists.
Article in International journal of paediatric dentistry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundEvidence suggests that pediatric patients requiring endodontic treatment in the permanent dentition are often a "missed population".
aimThis study surveyed pediatric dentists and endodontists about the frequency with which they encounter pediatric patients requiring endodontic treatment, their training, practice patterns, and decision-making considerations for the treatment of immature permanent teeth.
designSurveys were distributed to endodontists (n = 2457) and pediatric dentists (n = 3974) in the United States. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and X
resultsThe response rate was 13.1% (n = 840). The frequency of clinicians encountering pediatric patients requiring endodontic treatment for permanent teeth did not differ significantly by specialty. Pediatric dentists and endodontists reported statistically significant differences in their practice patterns related to the performance of vital pulp therapy (p < 0.001) and procedures for necrotic immature permanent teeth (p < 0.001). Among specialists, apexification was more frequently performed than regenerative endodontic procedures (REPs) (p < 0.001). When asked to consider clinical and patient factors related to the treatment of necrotic immature permanent teeth, pediatric dentists most frequently responded that they were "unsure" of their preferred treatment.
conclusionStandardized clinical knowledge and management of immature permanent teeth between specialties may improve interdisciplinary care for pediatric patients.
