Regenerative Endodontics in Teeth With Irreversible Pulpitis: A Scoping Review.
Article in International endodontic journal, 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
introductionRegenerative endodontic procedures (REPs) have been widely used to manage a range of pulpal pathologies, particularly in immature permanent teeth. The development of bioactive calcium silicate-based materials has led to a paradigm shift in vital pulp therapy (VPT) and REPs. Conventional clinical and radiographic criteria used to assess the healing ability of teeth diagnosed with irreversible pulpitis (IP) may be inadequate. Emerging evidence suggests that a proportion of pulps diagnosed as 'irreversibly' inflamed retain the capacity to recover normal function following VPT. The aim of this scoping review was to evaluate the current evidence supporting the possible use of REPs to preserve and regenerate vital pulp tissue in teeth diagnosed with IP.
methodsA comprehensive literature search was conducted using MEDLINE (via PubMed), Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, Google Scholar and Scopus to identify studies that met predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. In addition, manual citation searching was undertaken to ensure comprehensive coverage of the relevant literature.
resultsFour individual case reports describing moderately successful pulp regeneration using REPs in immature permanent teeth diagnosed with IP were identified. In addition, two case series and two case reports reported comparable outcomes following REPs in mature permanent teeth with the same pulpal diagnosis.
conclusionsBased on the results of this scoping review, the current clinical evidence supporting REPs for pulp regeneration in teeth diagnosed with IP is remarkably limited. However, biological plausibility is conceptually strong, and the potential focus of future investigations to achieve true pulp regeneration. Currently, VPT remains the preferable option for pulp preservation in teeth diagnosed with IP.
