A comparative study of the physicochemical properties of hesperidin, MTA-Angelus and calcium hydroxide as pulp capping materials.
Article in The Saudi dental journal, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
aimThis study compared the setting time, radiopacity, solubility and pH changes between Hisperidin cement, MTA-Angelus and Calcium hydroxide cements.
methodsThe study was conducted on 3 equal groups of samples of the evaluated capping materials including; Hisperidin (group I, N = 24), MTA-Angelus (group II, N = 24) and Dycal (group III, N = 24). According to the assessed property, these groups were further subdivided into three equal subgroups (8 samples each) including; subgroup A for assessment of the setting time, subgroup B for assessment of radiopacity and subgroup C for assessment of the solubility of the material and evaluation of pH. All recorded data were tabulated and statistically analyzed.
resultsThe highest mean value of setting time was for the MTA-Angelus followed by Hesperidin and Calcium hydroxide with 72.83, 48.26 and 1.58 min, respectively. MTA-Angelus had the highest radiopacity value and followed by Calcium hydroxide then Hesperidin. Hesperidin showed the solubility in distilled water (≈45% mass loss) in relation to Calcium hydroxide (≈19% mass loss). On the other hand, MTA-Angelus showed 9% increase in weight. On contrast to MTA and Calcium hydroxide, Hesperidin showed decrease in pH value throughout the evaluation periods. Higher pH values in MTA-Angelus and Calcium hydroxide were reported in comparison with Hesperidin.
conclusionDespite its slight acidic nature, lower radiopacity and longer initial setting time, Hesperidin, as a natural product, is a promising pulp capping material. Further research on Hesperidin powder is recommended to improve its physicochemical properties and to assess its biological actions.
