Endodontic Management of a Mandibular First Molar With Radix Entomolaris: A Clinical Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Successful endodontic treatment depends on a comprehensive understanding of root canal anatomy and its possible variations. Radix entomolaris (RE) is a rare anatomical variant characterized by the presence of a supernumerary distolingual root, most frequently found in mandibular first molars. This case report describes the clinical and radiographic identification of an RE in the mandibular first molar of a 42-year-old male patient presenting with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis. The additional root was identified during access cavity preparation, necessitating modification of the access outline to enable detection of all canal orifices. In this case, the RE exhibited no mesiodistal curvature and did not conform to established morphological classifications. Given the clinical challenges associated with such anatomical anomalies, heightened vigilance is essential to prevent iatrogenic complications and ensure treatment success. Early recognition and appropriate adaptation of endodontic procedures are critical for long-term tooth preservation and favorable outcomes.
