Comparative evaluation between guided endodontics and conventional technique: A prospective clinical study.
Article in Bioinformation, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Calcified root canals challenge endodontic success through procedural errors, excessive dentin loss and treatment failure when managed conventionally. Therefore, it is of interest to compare guided endodontics versus freehand technique in 60 teeth (48 patients) with pulp canal obliteration (n=30/group). Guided endodontics achieved superior canal location (96.7% versus 73.3%), reduced negotiation time, minimized dentin removal and lowered procedural complications (perforation/ledge/instrument separation). Patient-reported outcomes favored guided endodontics at 1 week and 3 months, with less post-operative pain and higher satisfaction. This data helps to guide endodontics for precise, minimally invasive standard in treating calcified canals, thereby transforming the management of historically problematic cases.
