Effect of hemostatic agents on the outcome of pulpotomy in primary and permanent teeth: A systematic review.
Review in Journal of oral biology and craniofacial research. 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
Aim: The success of pulpotomy depends significantly on the choice of materials and techniques used, including hemostatic agents. Despite extensive research, there remains a lack of consensus on the most effective hemostatic agent for pulpotomy. This study aimed to systematically review the literature on the efficacy of hemostatic agents on the outcome of pulpotomy. Methods: A comprehensive literature search was done in the different electronic databases namely PubMed, Scopus, EBSCO host. Supplementary search included grey literature The literature search performed included all the relevant articles published up to 31 Results: A total of eight studies were included in this review. Five studies concluded that sodium hypochlorite was more effective as a hemostatic agent in both primary teeth and permanent teeth. Two studies found potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP) laser treatment produced superior clinical and radiographic outcomes in permanent teeth. Another study showed better results with cryotherapy in the permanent teeth. Conclusion: Sodium hypochlorite demonstrated superior hemostatic potential in primary teeth, whereas in permanent teeth, potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP) laser and cryotherapy yielded promising results in clinical and radiographic outcomes with no statistically significant results when compared to sodium hypochlorite.
