Effect of intracanal and extracanal heating on pulp dissolution property of continuous chelation irrigant.

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
Context: Extracanal and intracanal heating of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) improve its pulp dissolution, but limited literature is available on its effect as a combined single irrigant with etidronate. Aim: The aim of this study is to compare the effect of temperature on the effectiveness of NaOCl and continuous chelation protocol on the time required for the dissolution of vital and necrotic pulp. Materials and Methods: Dissolution time of 120 standardized bovine (buffalo) pulp fragments, divided into 12 subgroups based on tissue type (vital/necrotic), irrigant (NaOCl/continuous chelation), and temperature (extracanal, intracanal, and nonheated irrigant), was noted. Conical glass tips mimicking the root canal were considered specimen containers. About 0.2 ml of irrigant corresponding to the irrigation protocol was taken in them and then pulp samples were added to it. Samples were observed using loupes under 2.5 X magnification. Dissolution time was recorded using a stopwatch. The study was approved by the Institutional Ethical Committee (SDC/2019/591). Statistical Analysis Used: Two-way analysis of variance; statistical product and service solutions version 25. The level of significance was set at Results: Time for pulp dissolution by continuous chelation mixture was significantly more as compared to NaOCl alone in all subgroups. Pulp tissue dissolution for both vital and necrotic pulp was improved by the increase in temperature of both irrigants and dissolution time was more for necrotic than vital tissue. Pulp tissue dissolution was significantly better by intracanal heating as compared to extracanal heating. Conclusion: Although intracanal heating of continuous chelation mixture improves its pulp dissolution capacity significantly as compared to extracanal heating and nonheating protocol but pulpal dissolution capacity of nonheated 5% NaOCl still remains significantly better as compared to intracanal and extracanal heated continuous chelation mixture.
