Mesiobuccal2 (MB2) canal evaluation for maxillary first molar in Indian sub-population.
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
The success of endodontic treatment relies on the knowledge of root canal anatomy and the ability to access, clean and fill the entire canal system. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate the prevalence, position and canal arrangement of the MB2 (mesiobuccal 2) canal in 170 maxillary first molars. The MB2 canal was identified in 59.41% of the teeth, with Vertucci Type II arrangement being the most common (69.3%), followed by Type IV (30.7%). The average inter-canal distance between MB1 and MB2 was 1.84 ± 0.41 mm. Spatial analysis showed that the MB2 canal lies in close proximity to MB1, with no significant association between canal configuration and gender (p = 0.583). Thus, we show CBCT's value in detecting complex canal morphology and the need for population-based studies in diverse populations like India to improve endodontic predictability.
