Influence of Limited Mouth Opening on Guided Endodontic Access and Its Clinical Management: A Case Report.
Article in Iranian endodontic journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This case report presents the innovative application of ultrasonic points combined with a graphite-marked endodontic guide in a case of restricted vertical space. A 71-year-old female patient with root canal obliteration in the second left mandibular molar was referred for treatment. The patient was experiencing spontaneous pain. Using data from cone-beam computed tomography and surface scans, a virtual 3D guide was developed and positioned. As the patient presented limited interocclusal space, black graphite was inserted through the drill path to mark the pathway. The guide was withdrawn, shorter ultrasonic points were inserted 2 mm into the marked dentin, and this process was repeated until the root canals were localized. The root canals were subsequently shaped and filled. The guide drill path effectively served as a reference for ultrasonic points, enabling successful localization of the root canals. Graphite-marked guide path facilitated access to obliterated root canals in the presence of limited interocclusal space.
