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

Purpose of the study: Pulpectomy has been a routine remedial endodontic procedure for treating a pulpally inflamed or infected deciduous tooth. The success of pulpectomy depends on thorough cleaning and shaping of the canals, complete debridement of the tissue remnants out of root canal spaces, and achieving a fluid-tight seal without any voids. Interestingly, the need for selection of a proper obturation technique collectively holds a major role in fulfilling various factors stated to be responsible for having a positive outcome. Hence, the purpose of the present research was to compare and assess the quality of obturation of various obturation techniques used in primary mandibular molars. Materials and methods: A total of 128 root canals of 64 deciduous mandibular molar teeth were randomly allocated for obturation with zinc oxide eugenol (ZOE) paste using four primary teeth obturating techniques. The obturation quality was evaluated by scoring the extent of filling and the existence of voids. Intergroup comparison of the data was done using Fisher-Freeman-Halton exact test. Results: The mean age of the study population was 7.58 ± 1.44 years (26 males and 22 females). The intergroup comparison of the obtained data subjected to statistical analysis using Fisher-Freeman-Halton exact test revealed statistically significant results with Conclusion: NaviTip double side port system proved to be efficient in attaining both optimally filled as well as a homogeneous obturation without voids in primary mandibular molar teeth.
