Bilateral Occurrence of Mandibular Permanent Second Molar With Four Roots: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Case reports in dentistry, 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
Basic knowledge of tooth anatomy is essential for endodontic success. The most common configuration of the mandibular second molar is the presence of two roots. However, single-, three-, four-, and even five-rooted forms have also been reported in the literature. The purpose of this study is to present a clinical case of a mandibular second molar with four roots. Morphology was assessed using CBCT examination, which revealed that the patient has bilateral four-rooted second lower molars-an anomaly that, to our knowledge, is extremely rare in the literature. Awareness and careful diagnosis of such anomalies are crucial to ensure all canals are treated, improving clinical outcomes and preventing treatment failure.
