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

To comprehensively evaluate and compare the effectiveness of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and its modifications in inducing dentin bridge formation during pulp capping procedures. This systematic review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta Analyses guidelines and was registered in the PROSPERO platform. PubMed-Medline, Scopus, Embase, Lilacs, and Google Scholar were searched until June 1, 2024. Three reviewers independently extracted data using a prepiloted extraction sheet. The quality of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was assessed using the ROB 2.0 tool, while quasi-experimental studies were evaluated using the JBI tool. The search yielded 152 studies, of which 9 studies (7 RCTs, 1
