Comparative Analysis of Vital and Nonvital Pulp Therapy Outcomes in Pediatric Endodontics.
Article in Journal of pharmacy & bioallied sciences, 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
Background: Pulp therapy in pediatric endodontics is crucial for maintaining primary teeth until natural exfoliation. Vital pulp therapy (VPT) and non-vital pulp therapy (NVPT) are commonly employed based on pulp status. Materials and Methods: A total of 80 pediatric patients (aged 4-10 years) with deep carious lesions were randomly assigned into two groups: VPT ( Results: At the 12-month follow-up, the VPT group showed an 85% success rate, while NVPT had an 80% success rate. Failure in VPT was mainly due to secondary infection and internal resorption, whereas NVPT failures were attributed to periapical pathology and root resorption. The difference in outcomes was not statistically significant ( Conclusion: Both VPT and NVPT are effective in managing deep caries in pediatric patients, with comparable success rates. VPT remains a preferable option in cases of reversible pulpitis due to its conservative nature, whereas NVPT is essential in cases of irreversible pulpitis.
