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

The management of iatrogenic perforations in the permanent dentition is challenging. Early detection and timely repair of iatrogenic tooth perforations are crucial for achieving a favourable prognosis. This article brings together information on the factors that affect the success of perforation repair and categorises them into three domains: Perforation-related, patient-related, and clinician-related. By analysing the existing literature, the review offers a holistic perspective on how these factors impact the prognosis of perforation repair, providing useful guidance for clinical decision-making and risk evaluation. In highlighting the current limitations within the evidence base, the review also suggests avenues for future research aimed at enhancing the predictability and success rates of iatrogenic perforation repair in contemporary endodontic treatment.
