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

Context: Preserving pulp vitality is essential for maintaining tooth integrity, making indirect pulp capping (IPC) a preferred treatment for deep carious lesions. Traditional materials such as calcium hydroxide and mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) promote dentin repair but have limitations. Aims: To evaluate the clinical success of ozonated olive oil as an IPC agent compared to MTA and Dycal in the treatment of deep carious lesions in permanent molars. Subjects and Methods: A randomized clinical trial was conducted on 60 patients aged 19-40 years, divided into three groups receiving IPC with ozonated olive oil, MTA, or Dycal. Clinical and radiographic evaluations were performed at 3 and 6 months to assess treatment success. Results: After 6 months, MTA had the best effectiveness rate (94%), followed by ozonated olive oil (89%) and Dycal (75%). Ozonated olive oil has shown considerable microbial reduction and dentin remineralization. Conclusions: Ozonated olive oil proved to be an effective IPC agent, exhibiting strong antimicrobial properties and promoting dentin remineralization. Clinical Significance: Ozonoid olive oil can be considered a potential indirect pulp capping agent in permanent teeth due to its antimicrobial properties and ability to reduce bacterial load in dentinal caries.
