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

objectivesThis study aimed to investigate the clinical and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) characteristics of root fractures in endodontically versus nonendodontically treated posterior teeth.

methodsA total of 340 posterior teeth from 305 patients were retrospectively collected. The fractured teeth were divided into endodontically treated (ET) teeth and nonendodontically treated (NET) teeth. The clinical information (age and gender of patients) was recorded. The type of fractured tooth, fractured root, orientation of fracture lines (vertical, horizontal, oblique, and irregular), direction of vertical fracture lines, location of horizontal root fractures, and bone resorption around fractured roots were evaluated and recorded based on CBCT images.

results1) The distribution of teeth was significantly different between NET and ET teeth (

conclusionsThe NET root fractured teeth and ET root fractured teeth presented quite different clinical and CBCT characteristics. The complex and diverse traits of NET root fractured teeth indicate the influence of multifaceted occlusal factors in their occurrence. By contrast, ET root fractured teeth demonstrate high uniformity, indicating that their occurrence may be related to the structural changes caused by endodontic treatment.
