Evaluation of Antimicrobial and Antifungal Efficacy of Inter Appointment Intracanal Medicaments against Enterococcus and Candida albicans: An In Vitro Study.
Article in Journal of international oral health : JIOH, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundMicroorganisms and their by-products in pulpal and periapical diseases are to be considered as the primary etiological agents of the pulpal necrosis and apical periodontitis. Enterococcus faecalis, which is the most common organism isolated from failed root canals, is a Gram-positive facultative anaerobe. Yeasts can be detected in 7-18% of infected root canals. MATERIALS AND
methodsDesigned to evaluate the antimicrobial and antifungal efficacy of chlorhexidine gutta-percha (CHX-GP), and calcium hydroxide GP points against E. faecalis and Candida albicans. The test materials used are divided into 3 groups; Group A - Control, Regular GP, Group B - CHX-GP, Group C - Calcium hydroxide GP. Detail Method is explained in the article.
resultsThere was a significant difference in the inhibition of E. faecalis, in different materials at each time interval period (P < 0.05). Similarly, the inhibition of C. albicans in the different materials at each time period was found to be statistically significant (P < 0.05). Calcium hydroxide GP did not exhibit any antimicrobial effect on any of tested microorganisms for all the time periods.
conclusionCHX-GP had the maximum effect on the test microorganisms, with the maximum efficacy on E. faecalis followed by C. albicans. Regular GP also had a significant efficacy on test microorganisms, with the maximum efficacy on E. faecalis followed by C. albicans. Calcium hydroxide GP did not have any effect on any test microorganisms during the entire test periods.
