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

Objective: To compare the clinical and radiographic outcomes of NeoPUTTY and mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) as medicaments for full pulpotomy in mature permanent molars with irreversible pulpitis in children. Materials and Methods: Forty-six mature permanent molars from 46 children aged 9-14 years (one tooth per child) were randomly allocated to NeoPUTTY ( Results: Forty-four teeth (22 per group) completed the final analysis; one participant from each group was lost to follow-up. Mean VAS scores decreased significantly within 24 h in both groups ( Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study and 12-month follow-up, no statistically significant differences were detected between NeoPUTTY and MTA in postoperative pain reduction or clinical/radiographic success after full pulpotomy in mature permanent molars with irreversible pulpitis. Adequately powered non-inferiority or equivalence trials with longer follow-up are required to confirm these preliminary findings.
