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
Objective: To explore the influence of combined endodontic-orthodontic treatment on the recovery of masticatory function in patients with crown-root fractures of permanent maxillary anterior teeth. Methodology: This retrospective analysis included clinical data of 118 patients with crown-root fractures of permanent maxillary anterior teeth admitted to Yulin First hospital from March 2020 to March 2024. Among them, 56 patients who received conventional restoration treatment were set as the control group, and 62 patients who received combined endodontic-orthodontic treatment were set as the study group. The treatment effects, oral-related indicators before and after treatment [gingival index (GI), periodontal probing depth (PPD), tooth mobility (TM)], bite force, masticatory efficiency, and subjective satisfaction were analyzed. Results: The total efficacy of the study group (95.16%) was higher than that of the control group (83.93%) (P < 0.05). After treatment, the levels of GI, PPD, and TM in both groups decreased compared to pre-treatment, and were considerably lower in the study group (P < 0.05). The excellent-good rate of bite force in the study group (93.55%) was higher than that in the control group (80.36%) (P < 0.05). Similarly, combined endodontic-orthodontic treatment was associated with a higher excellent-good rate of masticatory efficiency (93.55%) than that of the conventional restoration (78.57%) (P < 0.05). The subjective satisfaction in the study group (95.16%) was higher than that in the control group (82.14%) (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The combined endodontic-orthodontic treatment for crown-root fractures of permanent maxillary anterior teeth can effectively improve the oral condition, enhance the bite force and masticatory efficiency, with higher treatment effects and subjective satisfaction. This approach may represent a promising treatment option for patients with crown-root fractures of permanent maxillary anterior teeth, pending further validation through prospective and multicenter studies.
