Endodontic Retreatment of a Mandibular First Premolar With Unusual Four Root Canal Morphology: A Case Report.
Article in Case reports in dentistry, 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
Introduction: Mandibular premolars exhibit complex root canal systems, making them highly challenging to manage endodontically. Canal configurations vary from one to five canals. Successful endodontic treatment requires a thorough knowledge of standard anatomy and its variations. Case Presentation: This case report presents the endodontic retreatment of a right mandibular first premolar with four separate root canals in a 36-year-old male. Initial clinical and radiographic examinations showed a complex root canal anatomy. With the aid of a dental operating microscope (DOM) and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), a missed distolingual canal was successfully identified along with the mesiobuccal, mesiolingual, and distobuccal canals. The root canals were prepared, disinfected, and densely obturated. Conclusion: This report highlights the importance of detailed root canal exploration using advanced diagnostic tools like DOM and CBCT to ensure the successful management of rare anatomical variations in mandibular premolars.
