1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

In mandibular premolars with cervical lesions requiring endodontic treatment, the traditional occlusal access design may weaken tooth structure. A more conservative buccal cervical access cavity can be considered in such cases. Buccal cervical access was initiated in 30 single-rooted mandibular premolars requiring endodontic management. Cleaning and shaping were performed using heat-treated nickel-titanium files (Hyflex CM, Coltene, Whaledent, Switzerland), and the root canals were obturated using gutta-percha and bioceramic sealer (BioRoot RCS, Septodont). Postendodontic restoration was given using fiber-reinforced composite resin (Ever-X Posterior, GC Europe) as the first layer, followed by placement of a hybrid composite (Tetric N-Ceram, Ivoclar Vivadent, Schaan, Liechtenstein) over it. Immediate postoperative pain up to 72 h, and the clinical and radiographic outcomes were evaluated at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months, respectively. At the end of follow-up, all the cases were clinically and radiographically successful. This case series presents successful endodontic management of 30 single-rooted mandibular premolars using buccal cervical access preparation.
