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

aimThis technical review and case report describes the Minimally Invasive Vertical Incision Subperiosteal Technique (MIVIST) for use in specific targeted endodontic surgical cases. SUMMARY: The proposed MIVIST technique includes a vertical incision along with auxiliary vertical release incisions to enhance soft tissue healing during targeted endodontic surgery for teeth with small periapical lesions. The technique is described in a case report where a patient presented with persistent periapical periodontitis associated with a previously root canal treated tooth (#15). Based on the preoperative intraoral scan and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) three-dimensional surgical guides were printed. A vertical main incision and additional release incisions were placed in the buccal mucosa of tooth 15 over healthy bone, with subperiosteal tunnelling then being performed to provide adequate access to the lesion and root apex. A guided osteotomy was carried out using the surgical template, followed by root-end cavity preparation and filling. The patient was followed up over 24 months, when excellent soft tissue healing as well as radiographic healing was apparent.
