The effectiveness of nano-chitosan high molecular 0.2% as irrigant agent against
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. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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: Aims: The aim of the study was to investigate the bacterial growth and surface roughness of the root canal surface after irrigation and agitation with passive ultrasonic irrigant. Subjects and Methods: Experimental research with randomized block design obtained a sample size for each group of 9 samples with a total number of 27 teeth divided into three treatment groups. Statistical analysis used was one-way analysis of variance. Results: The irrigation material for nano-chitosan high molecular 0.2% with passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI) activation was shown to cause lysis on surface of bacterial cell walls. There was no significant difference between the roughness values in all treatment groups. Conclusions: The irrigation of root canal treatment with 0.2% high molecular nano-chitosan with the addition of PUI activation had significant antibacterial activities against
