Non-surgical Approach to a Maxillary Cyst-Like Lesion: Orthograde Endodontic Treatment With Neodymium-Doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (Nd:YAG) Decontamination of the Canal System.

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
The aim of this study is to describe the nonsurgical resolution of a large periapical cyst-like lesion through traditional endodontic treatment, supported by neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) laser activation of the irrigants. A 16-year-old girl was referred to our service with swelling of the right hemiface, pus, pain, and intraoral swelling of the labial mucosa extending from the right upper incisor (element 11) to the right upper canine (element 13). The radiological examination, a cone beam computed tomographic scan provided at the first appointment, confirmed the presence of a large cyst-like lesion extending from the right upper central incisor to the right upper canine. The right upper central and lateral incisors underwent endodontic treatment with the support of an Nd:YAG laser to enhance the decontamination action of the irrigants. The one-year follow-up showed complete healing of the lesion. This successful outcome supports the potential for healing of cyst-like lesions through nonsurgical treatment. However, the role of the Nd:YAG laser in endodontics requires further study.
