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
Aims and background: Apexification induces calcified barrier formation to retain an immature necrotic permanent tooth. Treating these teeth is often challenging due to thin, fragile walls that are difficult to prepare effectively. Bioactive cement mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and recently introduced Biodentine have been applied in the apexification of necrotic immature teeth. This article aims to review the application of Biodentine for the apexification of immature teeth of children. Materials and methods: About 18 studies, both Results: The Conclusion: Although MTA was superior to Biodentine in the apexification procedure, the latter has advantages such as lower setting time, which makes it ideal for single-visit treatment, which is advantageous in children. Further, long-term clinical trials are required to confirm Biodentine and MTA efficacy in the apexification of immature necrotic teeth. Clinical significance: Biodentine is a promising material for the apexification of immature teeth in children. Its shorter setting time reduces the need for multiple appointments and increases patient compliance. How to cite this article: Gerard LM, Gaur S.
