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: Traumatic dental injuries pose challenges in maintaining pulp vitality and promoting root development. Vital pulp therapy (VPT) and regenerative endodontic procedures (REP) are effective approaches for preserving tooth structure and function. Pulpotomy with calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)₂) supports apexogenesis, whereas REP facilitates root maturation in necrotic immature teeth. While both techniques offer promising results, long-term clinical outcomes remain underreported. This case report presents a 7-year follow-up of two maxillary incisors managed with VPT and REP, demonstrating sustained pulp vitality and complete root formation. Case description: An 8-year-old female presented with a traumatic injury to her maxillary central incisors. Clinical and radiographic examinations revealed that tooth #11 had uncomplicated crown fracture with incomplete root formation, while tooth #21 had undergone initial root canal treatment. Tooth #11 was treated with pulpotomy to support apexogenesis, while tooth #21 underwent REP to promote root development. Follow-up visits over 7 years demonstrated continued root formation in both teeth, with no signs of pathology. Conclusion: This case report demonstrates successful long-term management of two immature maxillary incisors using VPT and REP. Pulpotomy effectively promoted apexogenesis in a vital tooth, while REP facilitated root maturation in a necrotic immature tooth. The 7-year follow-up highlights the importance of treatment planning and extended monitoring to evaluate long-term outcomes. How to cite this article: Almaliki M, Almaghraby M, Bakhsh A.
