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

purposeThe present case report aimed to present an immunohistological analysis of newly formed intracanal tissues in a traumatised immature permanent incisor with pulp necrosis and apical periodontitis following RET. CASE DESCRIPTION: A 7-year-old girl sustained a combined traumatic dental injury, an uncomplicated crown fracture and lateral luxation, affecting an immature maxillary central incisor. The tooth subsequently developed pulpal necrosis and apical periodontitis and was treated with RET using calcium hydroxide as an intracanal medicament. A blood clot served as the scaffold, followed by placement of calcium silicate cement (Biodentine

resultsHistological and immunohistological analyses revealed a heterogeneous mixture of mineralised and connective tissues within the root canal space. The tissues demonstrated infiltration of fibroblast-like cells, resorptive cells, blood vessels and nerve fibres. Numerous fibrous cystic structures containing cholesterol crystals were identified in the middle third of the root canal.

conclusionThe newly formed intracanal tissues demonstrated limited similarity to intact odontogenic tissues. Both inflammatory root resorption and ankylosis-related replacement resorption, likely associated with the initial luxation injury, were observed. The presence of cholesterol crystal deposits represents a novel finding that may provide new insights into the biological processes occurring after RET. As cellular events following RET cannot be fully controlled clinically, the risk of unfavourable outcomes should be considered carefully, particularly in cases involving luxation injuries.
