1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Endodontic treatment is a routine procedure performed daily in dental practices. It requires a good knowledge of all the variations in the configurations of the root canal systems of different groups of teeth. A thorough analysis of all available imaging studies is necessary. Difficulties may arise in the analysis and treatment protocol for rare morphological features of the root canal system. A representative of these cases is the single-rooted upper second molar with one wide canal. The purpose of this article is to present a case with an unusual upper second molar morphology: a single wide root canal. Magnification and good anatomical understanding facilitated detection and treatment, preserving the tooth's function within the dentition.
