Success of pulpotomy with MTA in primary teeth: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Article in Bioinformation, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The challenge of effectively managing primary teeth with irreversible pulpitis in pediatric dentistry is of interest. The clinical and radiographic success of different pulpotomy materials, including Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA), in comparison to conventional materials like formocresol, ferric sulfate, calcium hydroxide, and Biodentine is reported. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate the effectiveness of materials like MTA in pulpotomies for primary teeth with irreversible pulpitis. The meta-analysis revealed that MTA pulpotomies had a clinical success rate of 97.02% and a radiographic success rate of 94.21%, outperforming ferric sulfate, Biodentine and calcium hydroxide. CEM and Calcium Silicate Cements showed comparable success rates to MTA. Thus, MTA demonstrated superior clinical and radiographic outcomes for pulpotomy in primary teeth with irreversible pulpitis, showing statistically significant differences compared to other materials.
