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.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

This study aimed to compare the effect of 4 different intracanal medicaments on the push-out bond strength of two sealers (AH Plus and MTA Fillapex). 100 single-rooted extracted premolar teeth were divided into 5 groups, with 20 samples in each group, one group being the control group. After cleaning and shaping procedures, the canals were filled with 4 different medicaments: calcium hydroxide, tri-antibiotic paste (TAP), Metapex, or Chlorhexidine (2%) gel for 2 weeks. Following this, the medicaments were rinsed away, and the samples in those sub-groups were obturated with gutta-percha/AH Plus or MTA Fillapex sealers. After 2 weeks of incubation, a 2-mm-thick middle section from each root was evaluated to test push-out strength. The obtained data were tabulated, and appropriate statistical analysis was performed (two-way ANOVA and LSD test). When comparing the average values, the bond strength values of AH Plus were significantly higher than those of MTA Fillapex (p<0.05) in all medicament groups. Based on the findings, we concluded that AH Plus had comparatively higher bond strength than MTA Fillapex. We also observed that AH Plus had higher bond strength in the presence of calcium hydroxide, whereas MTA Fillapex in the presence of Chlorhexidine. A comparison of the push-out bond strength shows that irrespective of the root canal segment or the final irrigant used, AH Plus showed higher values among all groups. The limitation of the current study was that the effect of TAP on the bond strength of endodontic sealers was not negative.
