Comparative Evaluation of Mineral Trioxide Aggregate, Biodentine, and Calcium Hydroxide for Apical Closure in Nonvital Immature Teeth: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Article in International journal of clinical pediatric dentistry, 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
Background: Managing nonvital immature teeth with open apices poses clinical challenges, particularly in achieving predictable apical closure. Aim: To compare the efficacy of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), Biodentine, and calcium hydroxide in promoting apical closure in nonvital immature anterior teeth. Materials and methods: This randomized controlled trial involved 60 patients aged 8-14 years with nonvital immature maxillary anterior teeth. Participants were divided into three groups: group I-MTA, group II-Biodentine, and group III-calcium hydroxide. Standardized treatment protocols were followed, and radiographic assessments were conducted at baseline, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months to evaluate apical closure. Results: Group I (MTA) and group II (Biodentine) demonstrated significantly faster apical closure than group III (calcium hydroxide) ( Conclusion: Biodentine is an effective material for promoting faster apical closure in nonvital immature teeth, followed closely by MTA. Calcium hydroxide required a longer duration to achieve comparable results. How to cite this article: Sabu A, Ramesh R.
