1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Endodontic failure is a common cause of tooth loss and frequently requires extraction when persistent infection and associated pathology compromise long-term prognosis. Dental implants provide a predictable treatment option for replacing missing teeth while restoring function and esthetics. This case report describes the radiographic documentation of implant-supported rehabilitation following endodontic failure of a mandibular first molar in a 44-year-old female patient. Initial radiographic evaluation revealed a previously endodontically treated mandibular right first molar (tooth #30) associated with persistent periapical pathology and an unfavorable prognosis. The tooth was extracted, and ridge preservation was performed using a bone graft material and a barrier membrane. After a three-month healing period, implant placement was completed with radiographic verification of implant position and proximity to adjacent structures using a guide pin. Following osseointegration, restorative procedures were initiated after implant uncovering through a digital workflow utilizing an intraoral scanner, scan body, and laboratory-fabricated screw-retained zirconia crown. Sequential radiographs documented the diagnostic, surgical, and restorative phases of treatment, including extraction site preservation, implant placement, healing, and definitive restoration. The final outcome demonstrated successful implant-supported rehabilitation with satisfactory radiographic positioning and restoration of function. This case highlights the value of radiographic assessment throughout implant therapy and illustrates a predictable treatment approach for replacing a mandibular first molar affected by endodontic failure.
