A Novel Digital Technique to Analyze the Wear of CM-Wire NiTi Alloy Endodontic Reciprocating Files: An In Vitro Study.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
The present study seeks to describe a novel digital measurement technique for analyzing the wear volume of controlled memory (CM)-wire NiTi alloy endodontic reciprocating files after clinical use. MATERIAL AND
methodsTen CM-wire NiTi endodontic reciprocating files were randomly used in ten first upper molar teeth within four root canals. The CM-wire NiTi alloy endodontic reciprocating files were subjected to preoperative and postoperative micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) scans to obtain accurate digital imaging and communication on medicine (DICOM) digital files, which were segmented using intensity-based thresholding and an exclusive OR (XOR) logical operation (Boolean algebra logical operator) to obtain a mask of the location to localize and quantify the wear volume of the CM-wire NiTi alloy endodontic reciprocating files. Gage repeatability and reproducibility statistical analysis was applied to assess the reproducibility and repeatability of this measurement technique.
resultsThe analysis showed a repeatability and reproducibility of 0.00% for the digital measurement technique used to analyze the wear volume of CM-wire NiTi alloy endodontic reciprocating files after clinical use. Wear was mostly identified at the tip and cutting edges of the CM-wire NiTi alloy endodontic reciprocating files.
conclusionsThis novel digital measurement technique is a repeatable, reproducible, and accurate method of quantifying the wear volume of CM-wire NiTi alloy endodontic reciprocating files after clinical use.
