Periapical healing and continued root maturation following endodontic surgery and apexification.
Article in Journal of conservative dentistry and endodontics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Persistent periapical lesions associated with iatrogenic errors, such as overextended silver cone obturations, present a significant clinical challenge that often necessitates multidisciplinary treatment. This case report describes the successful management of a 25-year-old female presenting with a large (1.5 cm × 1.2 cm), unilocular periapical cyst-like lesion involving the maxillary anterior teeth (11, 12, and 21). The treatment followed a staged protocol: initial nonsurgical retrieval of overextended silver cones was performed, followed by mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) apexification for the teeth with open apices (11, 21). Subsequent endodontic surgery was performed, incorporating a 3-mm root-end resection for tooth 12, ultrasonic retrograde cavity preparation, and MTA root-end filling. After the 10-month follow-up, the patient remained asymptomatic, with radiographs demonstrating significant bone regeneration and evidence of "continued root maturation" or lengthening.
