Three-Rooted Maxillary Premolars: A Case Report on Rare Root Canal Morphology in the First and Second Maxillary Premolars.

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
Morphological and anatomical variations of the canal system present one of the main challenges during root canal treatment (RCT) and retreatment. In fact, the presence of an additional atypical canal and/or root can often go undetected, leaving it unshaped and uncleaned. This significantly increases the risk of treatment failure. The present case report illustrates two cases of endodontic treatment of maxillary first and second premolars with unusual and rare three-root canals. Case A illustrates a 32-year-old patient with complex and atypical root anatomy on the first right premolar (#14) and second right premolar (#15). Case B illustrates a 24-year-old patient with atypical and complex root canal anatomy on the second right premolar (#15) and the second left premolar (#25). The illustrated two cases highlighted the importance of thorough and meticulous clinical examination during RCT. It demonstrates that there is always a possibility of atypical variations in the standard morphology, particularly in the number of canals.
