Single-step integrated minimally invasive static-guided microsurgery for file retrieval from the periapex of mandibular molar.

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
Traditional endodontic surgery has often faced challenges, particularly in locating and removing broken file fragments within the surgical site near the periapex. A 55-year-old woman presented with pain in her lower left molar, and radiographs showed a fractured file extending beyond the apex of tooth #36. Initial attempts to retrieve the fragment using the braiding technique were unsuccessful after a second instrument separation, prompting the choice of guided microsurgical intervention. Utilizing cone-beam computed tomography and intraoral scans, a surgical template was designed and fabricated to enable precise osteotomy and root-end resection with file retrieval. The procedure included root canal treatment, with the distal canal filled with mineral trioxide aggregate before surgery. This single-step, novel, minimally invasive, guided microsurgery involved guided ostectomy and root-end resection, leading to successful retrieval of the file fragments. The treatment resulted in symptom resolution and uneventful healing.
