Saving the split: An umbrella review on therapeutic approaches for cracked tooth syndrome.
Review in Journal of conservative dentistry and endodontics, 2026. 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
Introduction: Cracked tooth syndrome (CTS) has become a therapeutic dilemma due to a lack of consolidated evidence guiding its management. This umbrella review synthesized evidence from published systematic reviews of therapeutic interventions in CTS. Methods: The protocol was registered in PROSPERO (CRD420250648720), and it was conducted according to PRISMA 2020 guidelines. The searches were conducted up to June 15, 2025, in PubMed, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and EMBASE. Two reviewers screened and extracted data independently. A Measurement Tool to Assess Systematic Reviews 2 was used to measure methodological quality, and a citation matrix and Corrected Covered Area (CCA) to measure overlap of primary studies. Results: Ten systematic reviews were identified, and four of them satisfied the inclusion criteria; they included 30 separate primary studies (45 study entries). The CCA was 17%, indicating high overlap. Endodontic therapy followed by full cuspal coverage demonstrated the highest prognosis with 84%-96% survival, 82%-84% success rate, and a lower chance of extraction by 11.3 times. On the other hand, there was an association of noncrowned teeth with pulpal problems, failure of restoration, and recurring symptoms, particularly in the presence of deep periodontal pockets. Conclusion: Endodontic therapy followed by full cuspal coverage provides the most predictable outcome in CTS. More evidence ought to be augmented using standardized measures, patient-reported outcomes, and cost-effectiveness calculations.
