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

Aim and objective: To compare and evaluate both clinically and radiographically the effectiveness of four distinct pulpotomy medications in primary molars-mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) gel, Biodentine, TheraCal LC, and MTA putty. Materials and methods: This Results: Clinical and radiographic success of MTA gel (80 and 90%) and MTA putty (80 and 90%) were found to be highest. Although the results of Biodentine (70 and 80%) and TheraCal LC (70 and 80%) were found to be similar. Conclusion: Following a 6-month clinical and radiographic evaluation, MTA putty and MTA gel showed the most favorable outcomes, followed by Biodentine and TheraCal LC.
