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

backgroundThis paper describes a technique that the root-oriented replantation (ROR) of periodontally hopeless teeth (PHT) offers the preservation and restoration of tooth stability and function.

methodsPreoperative intraoral three-dimensional (3D) scans and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) data were imported into the robotic system for virtual surgical planning. During the surgery, the PHT were atraumatically extracted. This was followed by extraoral root surface debridement and retrograde root canal therapy (retro-RCT). The robotic system precisely reconstructed the 3D morphology of the alveolar socket according to the preset planning. The treated teeth were replanted into the reconstructed socket and were stabilized by splinting them to the adjacent teeth. Regular postoperative follow-up was conducted to assess the clinical outcomes. See also the graphical abstract.

resultsRobotic-assisted socket reconstruction enabled precise positioning of the PHT. The postoperative outcomes demonstrated minimal pain and swelling. At the three-month follow-up, clinical indicators of inflammation showed significant improvement, with resolution of bleeding on probing and suppuration, and reduced probing depths. The teeth regained stability and were restored esthetically and functionally with veneer restoration.

conclusionsRobotic-assisted alveolar socket reconstruction and ROR provide an innovative and effective therapeutic strategy for the preservation of PHT. Intraoperatively, retro-RCT enforced a minimally invasive approach and resulted in a thorough root canal filling.
