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

Introduction: Endodontic retreatment cases are complicated by persistent biofilm-forming pathogens such as Materials and Methods: A comprehensive search strategy was conducted using four electronic databases (PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library) to identify clinical studies from January 2005 to August 2024. Inclusion criteria focused on randomized controlled trials evaluating Ca(OH) Results: Six studies involving 430 participants were included. Four assessed postoperative pain using various scales (VAS, Numeric Rating Scale, and Verbal Rating Scale), two evaluated flare-ups, one assessed bacterial reduction, and another measured inflammatory markers. Ca(OH) Conclusion: Ca(OH)
