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

Objectives: External cervical resorption (ECR) is a progressive condition that may compromise both periodontal and pulpal tissues. This report describes the outcome of a single-session combined endodontic-periodontal approach for the management of ECR in a previously treated maxillary central incisor. Case Presentation: A 41-year-old male presented with ECR affecting the maxillary left central incisor, associated with previous trauma, a sinus tract, and defective root canal treatment. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) was used for diagnosis, classification, and treatment planning. A single-session approach combining endodontic retreatment and periodontal surgery was performed. Results: At 28 months, the tooth remained asymptomatic and functional, with clinical periodontal stability and radiographic periapical healing. However, no new bone formation was observed in the cervical buccal bone plate, and a residual probing depth of 5 mm persisted without bleeding or mobility. Conclusions: A single-session combined approach may be a reasonable option for moderate ECR when adequate access and defect sealing are achievable. In this case, the outcome reflected disease control and structural stability rather than complete tissue regeneration.
