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: This study aimed to compare the clinical and radiographic effects of EndoSeal mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and MTA for pulpotomy of primary teeth. Materials and Methods: This split-mouth randomized clinical trial evaluated 45 pairs of bilateral asymptomatic severely carious primary molars requiring pulpotomy in children between 3 and 8 years. The teeth in each patient were randomly assigned to two groups to undergo pulpotomy with MTA and EndoSeal MTA ( Results: Both groups demonstrated a 100% clinical success rate at 3 and 6 months. Radiographic success rates were 95.6% (3 months) and 93.3% (6 months) for the MTA group, and 93.3% (3 months) and 91.1% (6 months) for the EndoSeal MTA group. The difference in radiographic success was not statistically significant ( Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study, EndoSeal MTA demonstrated comparable clinical and radiographic success to MTA for pulpotomy of primary molars, suggesting it may be a suitable alternative material.
