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
Aim: This study demonstrated the clinical application of static guided surgery (SGS) combined with piezoelectric technology for endodontic microsurgery. The research objective was to evaluate the benefits of integrating advanced technologies to achieve atraumatic, accurate osteotomy while preserving natural bone for grafting. Summary: Two female patients (ages 38 and 27) with symptomatic apical periodontitis of previously treated mandibular first molars were treated using this innovative approach. The methodology involved comprehensive clinical and radiographic examinations, including CBCT scans and digital oral scans. Virtual surgical planning was performed to design 3D-printed surgical templates that predetermine osteotomy size and apical resection levels. The surgical procedure utilized (Altaqi kit) piezoelectric instruments specially designed for endodontic microsurgery for precise bone and root-tip cutting and root-end preparation under microscopic guidance. The key work in these cases was the ability to precisely and conservatively cut and reposition the bone window as an autogenous bone graft, secured with platelet-rich fibrin plugs. This approach minimized surgical trauma by selectively cutting hard tissues while preserving soft tissues and reducing thermal damage. Both cases demonstrated successful clinical outcomes at 12-18-month follow-up, with patients remaining asymptomatic and showing routine healing without complications. The integration of piezoelectric technology with static surgical guides promoted early healing through bone-preserving techniques. The study concludes that this combined approach offers significant advantages for endodontic microsurgery, particularly in complex anatomical scenarios near critical structures, despite preparation time and equipment costs.
