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

Lateral root perforations are serious iatrogenic complications that can compromise the outcome of endodontic treatment. The current case report presents the successful treatment of simultaneous double lateral root perforations in the mandibular canine and first premolar using a nonsurgical approach guided by cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA). Perforations that were not detectable with periapical radiographs were confirmed using CBCT, and the treatment planning was performed based on the millimetric measurements provided by CBCT. The treatment protocol included rubber dam isolation, microscopic assistance, effective irrigation, calcium hydroxide intracanal medication, and definitive sealing of the perforation sites with MTA. The 1-year follow-up revealed asymptomatic teeth with normal function and radiographic evidence of periapical healing. This case highlights that CBCT-guided MTA repair provides a predictable, minimally invasive solution for managing iatrogenic lateral root perforations, though its success is contingent upon a meticulous approach and regular follow-up.
