Assessing root canal configuration of permanent mandibular incisors in Indian subjects using CBCT.
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
Root canal morphology in mandibular incisors varies widely, complicating endodontic treatment. CBCT offers precise 3D visualization compared with conventional radiography. Therefore, it is of interest to assess root canal configurations in 1,744 permanent mandibular central/lateral incisors from Indian adults. Bifurcated roots occurred in 0.9% overall (0.2% males [n=2/944], 1.0% females [n=8/800]); Vertucci distributions showed no significant right/left or gender differences (p>0.05), through root numbers varied by age group (p< 0.05). Type I configurations predominated bilaterally, consistent with the Indian CBCT series, which reported 58-66% Type I and secondary complex types. This data help by confirming bilateral symmetry and low bifurcation (0.9%) in a large Indian cohort, guiding access preparation and microscopy use for missed canals.
