Article in Journal of conservative dentistry : JCD. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06660797 (Effect of Different Irrigation Activating Techniques on Irrigant Penetration Depth and Microbial Reduction in Root Canals), which is not on this map.

1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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.

Abstract

objectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI) and the easy clean instrument by micro-computed tomography (CT) for removing remnant filling materials during endodontic retreatment. MATERIALS AND

methodsForty mesial roots of mandibular molars were divided into four groups (

resultsThere was no difference between the groups for total filling volume and initial and final remaining filling volume (

conclusionsBoth the PUI and easy-clean instrument are effective for removing remnants of filling material with no difference between the groups.
