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
Traumatic dental injuries in immature permanent teeth present significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, particularly when associated with root fractures. A 7-year-old boy presented with trauma to the anterior maxilla after a fall on the pavement. Right central incisor (#11), previously unerupted due to premature extraction of the primary predecessor, erupted rapidly within 2 weeks post-trauma, likely facilitated by dental trauma. Initial radiographic examination revealed an immature root with an open apex (Cvek Stage 1) and an oblique root fracture extending from the cervical region toward the middle-apical third. No other clinical signs were present. The patient remained asymptomatic throughout the observation period, reporting no pain or discomfort at any time. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) obtained 3 months later confirmed the root fracture and demonstrated dentin bridge formation, isolating the coronal pulp associated with the root fracture from the unaffected pulp. A sinus tract developed 6 months post-trauma, but definitive treatment was delayed because of insufficient clinical crown for access. A month later, sufficient eruption allowed access cavity preparation. Under high magnification, a thick, continuous tertiary dentin bridge was observed overlying the pulp, with a localized pulpal exposure at the junction with the distal dentinal wall; bleeding confirmed pulpal vitality. The coronal pulp space above the bridge was gently irrigated with 1% NaOCl and 17% EDTA without mechanical instrumentation and subsequently sealed with a calcium silicate-based cement up to 2 mm below the cementoenamel junction. Clinical and radiographic follow-up for up to 2 years showed continued root development, dentin bridge formation, canal narrowing, and absence of symptoms. Conservative vital pulp therapy may be a viable treatment option in selected cases of root fractures in immature permanent teeth when pulp vitality is preserved.
