Vertical Root Fracture in Endodontically Treated Teeth: Risk Factors and Future Directions.
Review in Australian endodontic journal : the journal of the Australian Society of Endodontology Inc, 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
This article provides a narrative review of risk factors of vertical root fractures (VRFs) in endodontically treated teeth, focusing on treatment-related factors and occlusal factors. Studies on treatment-related risk factors include experimental studies on the formation of dentinal microcracks caused by different root canal preparation instruments, as well as experimental studies on the variations in dentine volume and fracture resistance resulting from different access cavity and root canal preparation instruments. Studies on occlusal risk factors encompass high-risk occlusal forces, stress distribution alterations on root due to crown morphology changes and crown restoration. Currently, occlusal analysis techniques and force measurement methods remain limited, with far fewer studies available compared to those on treatment-related risk factors. Finally, this narrative review offers a prospect on occlusal risk factors exploration based on flexible sensor technology.
