Physical Properties, Cytocompatibility and Sealability of HealApex (a Novel Premixed Biosealer).
Article in Iranian endodontic journal, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
introductionThe objective of this study was to evaluate the physical properties, cytotoxicity and sealing ability of HealApex _a new premixed calcium-silicate-phosphate-based biosealer_ in comparison with AH-26. METHODS AND MATERIALS: Setting time, working time, film thickness, flow and radiopacity evaluation were performed according to ISO 6876 specification. L929 fibroblasts were incubated with the extracts of sealers and cytotoxicity was then evaluated using MTT assay. Thirty intact extracted human premolars were instrumented using step-back technique. The specimens were obturated with gutta-percha and experimental sealers employing lateral condensation technique. Sealing ability of sealers was investigated for up to one month using fluid filtration method. Data were statistically analyzed by
resultsPhysical properties of both sealers conformed to ISO specification. AH-26 exhibited significantly higher flow, higher radiopacity and lower film thickness; whereas HealApex showed lower setting time (
