Beyond the Conventional: Successful Negotiation and Management of the Middle Mesial Canal.
Article in Cureus, 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
Planning endodontic therapy requires a thorough understanding of the root canal system's typical morphology, anatomy, and potential abnormalities. A less common anatomical variation that requires careful investigation is the possibility of a middle mesial canal (MMC) in mandibular molars. The clinician's capacity to identify and treat such canals is greatly improved by the use of magnification. This case series emphasizes the significance of anatomical awareness in attaining predictable endodontic success by presenting clinical cases that highlight the identification and treatment of MMCs under magnification. A six-month clinical follow-up was carried out. The patients remained asymptomatic, with no reported pain or discomfort, and the treated teeth were functional. Clinical examination revealed no tenderness to percussion, swelling, or sinus tract, indicating a favorable clinical outcome.
