Cleaning Efficacy and Debris Extrusion using XP-Endo Finisher and XP-Endo Finisher R as Supplementary Files during Retreatment: An in Vitro Study.
Article in European endodontic journal, 2022. 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
objectiveThe aim of the study was to examine the efficacy and debris extrusion of XP -Endo Finisher and XP-Endo Finisher R when used in the removal of root canal filling as supplementary files.
methodsSixty single-rooted mandibular premolars with single canals were selected. After root canal preparation and obturation, roots were distributed across four groups according to the method of retreatment (n=15): H files, D Race files, D Race +XP-Endo Finisher and D Race+ XP -Endo Finisher R. After retreatment completion, the debris was dried in a hot air oven and weighed. Later, the coronal, middle and apical thirds were assessed using the stereomicroscope. One-way ANOVA followed by Tukey's post hoc test was used to compare across all tested groups. The significance level was set at 0.05 (P<0.05).
resultsXP- Endo Finisher R exhibited significantly cleaner root canals than XP- Endo Finisher (41.58±10.56 and 52.68±9.94 respectively) and extruded more debris apically (16.56%±4.07 and 12.82%±3.41 respectively) (P<0.001).
conclusionAlthough none of the tested approaches rendered root canals free of filling remnants, the XP-Endo Finisher R cleaned canals significantly more than the XP-Endo Finisher and extruded more debris apically.
