Pulpotomy of deciduous molars with deep caries using three different hydraulic calcium silicate cements: a short-term pilot randomized controlled split-mouth study.
Trial report in Clinical oral investigations, 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
objectivesThis randomized, controlled split-mouth study evaluated the short-term clinical survival of three hydraulic calcium silicate cements for pulp capping after pulpotomy in primary molars under general anesthesia. MATERIALS AND
methodsThirty-three children aged 2 to 6 years, each with three carious primary molars (ICDAS 4-6), were recruited for treatment under general anesthesia. Following pulpotomy, the pulp was randomly covered with one of the materials: ProRoot MTA (Dentsply Sirona), Biodentine (Septodont), or TotalFill BC RRM Putty (FKG). The teeth were restored with steel crowns. Clinical survival rate at 5 and 10 months, application time, treatment costs and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) were evaluated using the ECOHIS-G questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using non-parametric methods (α = 0.05).
resultsAll 84 treated teeth remained in situ for up to 10 months without clinical symptoms. TotalFill BC RRM Putty had the significantly shortest application time (median 75.5 s; p ≤ 0.001) compared to Biodentine (259 s) and ProRoot MTA (200.5 s). Biodentine resulted in the significantly lowest treatment cost (median €42.45; p ≤ 0.001), ProRoot MTA in the highest (€74.37; TotalFill BC RRM Putty: €60.01). The treatments generally led to improved OHRQoL (Median ECOHIS-G score: initial 5, after 5 months 4, after 10 months 2.5).
conclusionsAll investigated hydraulic calcium silicate cements showed no differences in short-term clinical outcomes after pulpotomy in primary molars. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Material selection may therefore be guided by practical factors such as handling time and treatment costs, while long-term outcomes, which require further investigations, should be considered.
