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
Objectives: This study evaluated the association between key prognostic factors in nonsurgical endodontic treatment and the presence and size of periapical lesions (PALs) in mandibular anterior and premolar teeth using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional analysis was conducted on 63 CBCT scans covering 105 mandibular anterior and premolar teeth. Variables examined included missed canals, underfilled or overfilled canals, procedural errors (e.g., perforations and fractured instruments), intracanal posts (cast or prefabricated), and restoration type. The presence and volume of PALs were assessed, and associations were evaluated using a general linear model (GLM) and multiple logistic regression ( Results: Among 63 patients (27 males and 36 females), PALs were observed in 43 teeth (41%) with an average lesion volume of 7.90 mm Conclusions: The findings underscore the clinical relevance of missed canals, over- and underfilling, and procedural mishaps in the development and size of PALs. Patient gender also appeared to influence lesion size. These results highlight the need for precision in endodontic procedures to improve periapical healing.
