Comparative evaluation of MTA and PRF for direct pulp capping in permanent mandibular molars - A randomized control trial.
Article in Bioinformation, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Direct pulp capping (DPC) aims to encourage pulp healing and the development of a mineralized tissue barrier and its successful implementation prevents the need for extensive treatment by protecting the exposed pulp with a dental biomaterial. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate and compare the clinical outcome, radiographic outcome, pain score and analgesic intake after Direct Pulp Capping (DPC) using Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) and Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) as pulp capping agents in cariously exposed permanent mandibular molars with reversible pulpitis. Hence, a total of 154 permanent mandibular molars following the inclusion exclusion criteria were selected for the study. Teeth were randomly divided into two groups (Group I and II) of 77 teeth each. DPC was done with MTA and PRF in groups I and II respectively. All the samples were then evaluated at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months postoperatively. On statistical evaluation a significant difference was found between Group I (MTA) and Group II (PRF) at 6 and 12months follow-up period. PRF showed a higher success rate and less postoperative pain than MTA at all intervals, indicating its strong potential as a superior direct pulp capping material.
