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

Background/purpose: Intracanal medicaments with high residual inhibition effects are used to achieve successful endodontic treatment and prevent reinfection. This in vitro study aimed to assess antimicrobial residual effects of different intracanal medicaments against Materials and methods: Seventy human teeth were standardized to have 15 mm of length and were prepared by ProTaper rotary system. The teeth were randomly divided into six experimental (n = 10) and two control (n = 5) groups and subjected to drug therapy as follows; group CHX: 2% chlorhexidine gel, group CH: calcium hydroxide paste, group CH/CHX: mixture of calcium hydroxide and 2% CHX, group TAP: triple antibiotic paste, group DAP: double antibiotic paste, group CH/AgNPs: mixture of CH paste and silver nanoparticle suspension. After one week, the medicaments were removed from the root canals and Results: The difference between all experimental groups was statistically significant in this regard (P < 0.05) except for DAP and TAP groups, in which, no bacterial colony was noted after culture. After DAP and TAP, the lowest colony count was noted in CH/AgNPs, CH/CHX and CHX groups. The highest colony count was noted in CH group. Conclusion: Our results showed favorable residual antibacterial effects of TAP, DAP and CH/AgNP medicaments after one week of application.
