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

The aim of the present study is to evaluate the efficacy of indirect pulp therapy (IPT) with selective removal of carious dentin in deep carious lesions of permanent teeth. One hundred permanent molars and premolars with deep carious lesions and no signs of irreversible pulpitis were selected. Selective caries removal was performed, preserving a layer of soft dentin over the pulpal wall. Calcium hydroxide liner was applied, followed by composite restoration. Clinical and radiographic follow-ups were conducted at 1, 6 and 12 months. At the 12-month visit, the cavity was re-entered to assess tertiary dentin formation. At 12 months follow up seventy-three cases were successful, with only two failures, resulting in a success rate of 97.3%.
