CBCT in Evaluation of Root Canal Preparation-A Scoping Review.
Review in Dentistry journal, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is widely utilized in endodontics for evaluating root canal shaping outcomes, offering critical three-dimensional imaging capabilities. This study aims to assess the differences in apical and root canal preparation across various instrumentation techniques using CBCT. A systematic search of the Medline database (via PubMed) and Web of Science was performed up to 12 April 2025, yielding a total of 70 studies, with 45 full-text articles assessed for eligibility; 28 were included in the review. Studies showed great heterogeneity in experimental design, anatomical variables, and outcome measurements. The results indicate that rotary instruments, such as ProTaper Next
