Needle aspiration (needle removed immediately after aspiration) vs intercostal tube drainage

All‐cause mortality during hospital stay · patients with pneumothorax in the newborn

It is very uncertain whether needle aspiration (needle removed immediately after aspiration) changes mortality during hospitalisation compared with intercostal tube drainage (very low certainty).

Needle aspiration (needle removed immediately after aspiration) vs intercostal tube drainage

Need for intercostal tube drainage · patients with pneumothorax in the newborn

It is very uncertain whether needle aspiration (needle removed immediately after aspiration) changes need for intercostal tube drainage compared with intercostal tube drainage (very low certainty).

1 finding from 1 review

Partial pulpotomy with immediate (same-visit) permanent restoration vs Partial pulpotomy with delayed permanent restoration (7-14 days or >14 days)

Overall success (composite of clinical and radiographic success) · Adults (>=18 y) with mature permanent teeth and deep carious pulp exposure

Immediate permanent restoration after partial pulpotomy is associated with much higher success than delayed restoration (89.9% immediate vs 23.2% beyond 14 days; ungraded).

Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) vs No biomimetic remineralization (control)

Immediate (24 h) resin-dentin bond strength (MPa) · Artificial caries-affected dentin (ACAD) in extracted permanent human teeth (in vitro)

Only one in vitro study assessed a Self-Etch adhesive with the biological ACAD protocol; it was insufficient for network meta-analysis, so no pooled effect estimate is available (ungraded).
