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: This study aimed to compare the healing outcomes of periapical lesions with different histopathological features, focusing on the effectiveness of nonsurgical endodontic therapy versus surgical management. Methodology: This observational study compared the healing of histologically confirmed periapical lesions after nonsurgical or surgical treatment. Patients were followed for ≥12 months. Healing was assessed clinically and radiographically at 6 and 12 months and classified as complete, incomplete, or no healing. Chi-square tests compared outcomes between treatment groups ( Results: Analysis revealed that nonsurgical management showed high success in periapical granulomas and pocket cysts, whereas surgical approaches provided superior outcomes in true cysts and persistent lesions. A comparative table demonstrated that complete healing was significantly more predictable when treatment modality was tailored to the lesion's histopathology. Conclusion: Histopathological differentiation of periapical lesions plays a critical role in guiding treatment strategy. While nonsurgical therapy remains effective for most inflammatory lesions, surgical intervention is more beneficial for true cysts, underscoring the importance of lesion-specific management.
