The Effect of Chlorhexidine Mixed with Mineral Trioxide Aggregate on Bacterial Leakage of Apical Plug in Simulated Immature Teeth Using Human Fresh Saliva.
Article in Journal of International Society of Preventive & Community Dentistry. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
objectivesApexification is a challenging treatment in necrotic open apices teeth and bacterial leakage is the main reason for the treatment failure. The aim of this study is to compare the effect of mixing mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) with chlorhexidine (CHX) on microbial leakage in apexification treatment of simulated immature teeth. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn this experimental study, 44 intact central incisors were selected based on inclusion criteria. The coronal and 2 mm of apical part of the specimens were removed till all root segments were 12 mm long. The apical parts of the teeth were prepared using Profile #40/0.06 (Dentsply Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland) in the apical to coronal direction to simulate open apices. The specimens were separated into experimental groups (
resultsMTA/CHX group had lower microbial leakage percentage (
conclusionBased on the results of this study, MTA/CHX mixture can reduce the amount of bacterial leakage.
