The effect of age and preoperative diagnosis on the outcome of partial and cervical pulpotomies in immature permanent teeth.
Article in Clinical oral investigations, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectivesThis retrospective study aimed to evaluate the effect of age and preoperative diagnosis on the outcomes of partial and cervical pulpotomies in immature permanent teeth. MATERIALS AND
methods51 immature teeth from patients aged 6-17 years who were treated according to a standardized protocol were included in the study. Teeth were divided into two groups: Group 1 (partial pulpotomy) and Group 2 (cervical pulpotomy). The choice between partial and cervical pulpotomy was determined by the ability to achieve hemostasis after 10 min using a sterilized cotton pellet soaked in 2.5% sodium hypochlorite.
resultsThe majority (63%) of patients were 6-9 years old. In the 13-17 years age group, only cervical pulpotomy was performed. A preoperative periapical radiolucency was observed in 15 teeth. Continued root development was more frequently observed after cervical pulpotomy (84%) compared to partial pulpotomy (56%), a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05). A statistically significant correlation was found between early age and root development following vital pulp therapy (p < 0.01; CI 1.59-8.48; OR 3.18), as well as between age and periapical lesion repair (p < 0.05; CI 1.20-3.58; OR 1.91).
conclusionsAge, the preoperative pulpal diagnosis, and the presence of periapical radiolucency significantly influence the success of pulpotomy in immature teeth. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The outcome of cervical pulpotomy is more favorable than partial pulpotomy. However, the frequent occurrence of a calcified bridge following cervical pulpotomy may impede future prosthetic intervention, specifically the placement of a post in teeth with significant coronal damage.
