Surgical Management of Vertical Root Fracture (VRF): A Report of Two Cases.
Article in Cureus, 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
Vertical root fracture (VRF) is one of the most challenging complications in endodontic treatment. Diagnosing VRF, especially in the early stages, can be difficult, and it is often recognized only during surgical procedures or on high-quality cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans. Cracked teeth and VRF represent a rising concern in endodontic management. Tooth extraction for single-rooted teeth and root amputation for multi-rooted teeth are still the last solutions suggested. The most important issue with VRFs is that the fracture line lies below the level of the epithelial attachment, allowing salivary microorganisms to penetrate the fracture space, thereby making the likelihood of fracture repair and the resulting lesion very poor. This paper aims to review the etiology, diagnosis, clinical symptoms, and present the surgical management of two cases of VRF.
