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

In this study, the root canal morphology, radicular groove (RG) presence, and canal separation level (FCAP) in mandibular premolars of a Turkish population were evaluated using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). CBCT images of 3594 mandibular premolars from 402 males and 564 females were analyzed. Root canal morphology was classified using Vertucci's system and Ahmed's classification. RG presence and location and FCAP levels were also recorded. The most common configuration in Ahmed's classification was
