The effect of different treatment methods on apical closure and treatment success in immature permanent first molars with reversible pulpitis.
Article in BMC oral health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06575062 (The Effect of Different Treatment Methods on Apical Closure and Treatment Success in Immature Permanent First Molars With Reversible Pulpitis), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
backgroundThe aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of direct pulp capping and coronal pulpotomy treatments on root development (apexogenesis) and treatment success in immature mandibular first permanent molars with symptoms of reversible pulpitis.
methodsThe study included 72 immature mandibular first molars from 60 children aged between 7 and 10 years who applied to the Department of Pediatric Dentistry, Faculty of Dentistry, Ataturk University. Pulpotomy was performed on 34 teeth and direct pulp capping on 38 teeth. In all cases, a single biomaterial (ProRoot MTA) was used, and treatments were completed in a single visit. Clinical and radiographic follow-ups were performed at 3-, 6-, 12-, and 18-month. Root development was assessed using the Moorrees classification.
resultsAsymptomatic clinical progress and regular root development were observed in both treatment groups. More than 90% of the treated teeth were successfully followed up to 18 months, and root development progressed consistently according to the Moorrees classification. No statistically significant difference was found between direct pulp capping and pulpotomy in terms of clinical or radiographic success (p >0.05).
conclusionThe data obtained indicate that in immature permanent teeth with reversible pulpitis, both direct pulp capping and pulpotomy treatments can provide similar clinical, radiographic, and physiological outcomes.
trial registrationThe study was retrospectively registered in ClinicalTrials.gov ( https://clinicaltrials.gov ) with the registration ID NCT06575062 (2024-08-28).
