Non-Interventional Resolution of External Cervical Root Resorption: A Case Report.

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.
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
External cervical resorption (ECR) is an uncommon, often asymptomatic condition that originates below the epithelial attachment. Orthodontic treatment is recognised as a common predisposing factor. This report describes a 24-year-old female with a mandibular second molar (Tooth 37) previously diagnosed with Heithersay Class 3 ECR. The lesion was initially deemed untreatable and managed conservatively with long-term monitoring. After 8 years, radiographic imaging demonstrated apparent hard-tissue deposition and lesion regression. Clinical and radiographic assessments confirmed normal pulp vitality, absence of periapical pathology, and no symptoms. Radiographic evaluation also identified an additional ECR lesion affecting the maxillary first molar (Tooth 26), highlighting the diagnostic value of thorough imaging in ECR cases. This case suggests that even advanced ECR lesions may stabilise in the absence of ongoing resorptive stimuli, supporting a cautious and individualised approach to ECR management.
