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

This case report described the complete resolution of a large osteolytic lesion following a nonsurgical endodontic retreatment using a premixed bioceramic sealer. A 30-year-old healthy patient presented a large radiographic osteolytic lesion of 16 × 9 mm in correspondence with Teeth #42, #41, and #31. Clinical examinations revealed positive percussion tests and increased mobility of all incisors. The microbiological profile of the root canals was assessed through paper point sample collection, DNA extraction, and next-generation sequencing, revealing markedly different proportions of bacteria genera in the affected teeth. A secondary endodontic treatment was then performed, combining manual, rotary, and reciprocating protocols. A premixed bioceramic-based sealer (CeraSeal) was used for obturation due to the presence of wide and wet apexes. Radiographic (x-rays and CBCT) and clinical evaluations reported the progressive healing of the lesion over 30 months. This outcome supports the use of conservative treatments as a valid alternative to endodontic surgery for the management of extensive periapical lesions.
