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

ObjectiveThis systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the efficacy of regenerative endodontic procedures compared with conventional root canal treatment procedures in mature permanent teeth with periapical lesions.MethodsThis systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Randomized controlled trials that were included in the study compared regenerative endodontic procedures with traditional root canal treatment procedures in mature permanent teeth with irreversible pulpitis. The Risk of Bias 2 tool was used for quality assessment, and the certainty of the evidence was evaluated using the GRADE approach. Meta-analysis was performed using the RevMan Web software, using odds ratios for dichotomous outcomes and mean differences for continuous outcomes, with a random-effects model applied. Heterogeneity was assessed using the I
