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

Regenerative endodontic procedures (REPs) have emerged as a biologically driven approach for managing immature teeth with necrotic pulp and open apices, providing an alternative to traditional apexification techniques. This case report describes the successful treatment of a three-rooted immature mandibular first molar with necrotic pulp and chronic apical periodontitis in a 9-year-old patient using REPs. The treatment followed the guidelines set by the American Association of Endodontists and utilized a two-visit protocol. Concentrated growth factor (CGF) was employed as a biological scaffold in the root canals, while calcium-enriched mixture (CEM) cement was used for the coronal seal. Radiographic evaluations conducted at 6, 12, and 15 months revealed progressive periapical healing, significant root elongation, increased thickness of the root walls, and partial apical closure. Clinically, the patient remained asymptomatic during all follow-ups. This case highlights the potential of CGF and CEM cement-enhanced REPs to promote continued root development and achieve predictable outcomes in immature teeth with necrotic pulps, offering a biologically based alternative to conventional apexification.
