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

Aim: To highlight the effectiveness of a conservative, multidisciplinary approach in managing external root resorption caused by a biocortically impacted maxillary canine in a young patient and to demonstrate the potential for long-term preservation of a compromised central incisor. Summary: A 14-year-old female presented with a biocortically impacted maxillary right canine causing a severe root resorption of the adjacent central incisor. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) revealed direct contact between the impacted canine and incisor root, with only one-third of the incisor's root structure intact. Surgical removal of the canine was followed by endodontic microsurgery on the central incisor with minimal apical resection and mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) for root-end filling. Internal bleaching addressed MTA-induced discoloration, and comprehensive orthodontic and esthetic treatments were completed. Over a 15-year follow-up, the incisor remained functional, asymptomatic, and stable, demonstrating that early diagnosis and conservative multidisciplinary management can preserve compromised teeth, maintain alveolar bone, and support successful orthodontic treatment.
