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

Introduction: With the current advancements in regenerative medicine, it has become necessary to refine the current regenerative endodontic procedure (REP). Scaffold improvement, including the use of hyaluronic acid as a natural biomaterial, has been the subject of many studies. This systematic review aims to explore the effects of hyaluronic acid (HA) on dental pulp regeneration. Methods: A comprehensive search on Hinari, PubMed, Springer, and ScienceDirect databases in July 2024 was carried out. All Results: A total of 23 articles were included, comprising 17 Discussion: The variability in the study design has made it difficult to assert the results; however, most studies agree that HA has promising potential in REP.
