C-shaped Canal in Second Mandibular Molar: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Root canal treatment is a procedure that is often performed in dental practice, both on single-rooted and multi-rooted teeth. Endodontic treatment of multi-rooted teeth can be challenging due to variations in the root canal system. The most common anatomical variation in mandibular second molars is the C-shaped root canal system. In particular, mandibular molars with joined roots, a longitudinal radicular groove on the buccal and/or lingual root surface, and at least one axial cross-section with a "C-shaped" morphology are considered to have C-shaped morphology. To guarantee high-quality care, medication, and C-shaped canal obturation, we need preliminary radiography or cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) to help us determine the diagnosis and best course of action. The purpose of this article is to show а clinical case of a lower second molar with C-shaped anatomy, in which, with magnification, preliminary radiography, and an appropriate system for root canal preparation and obturation, quality treatment is achieved, with the tooth being functional and preserved in the dentition.
