Genotoxicity and Cytotoxicity Comparison of Calcium Silicate-Based and Resin-Based Sealers on Human Periodontal Ligament Stem Cells.
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 7 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
objectiveThis study aimed to assess the genotoxicity and cytotoxicity of Sealer Plus BC (SBC), AH Plus (AHP) and MTA Fillapex (MTF).
methodsHuman periodontal ligament dental stem cells (hPDLSCs) from third molars were isolated and cultured in a clonogenic medium. Cells were maintained in an incubator, and cell growth was monitored daily. hPDLSCs were characterised under flow cytometry and stem cell surface markers. The tested groups were a control group, SBC, AHP and MTF. Each sealer was prepared according to the manufacturer's instructions and placed in a clonogenic medium to produce a conditioned media. Conditioned media were then diluted to 10% to be placed in contact with culture cells in cell viability assay afterwards. The cells were harvested and plated into 96 wells culture plates. Genotoxicity was assessed by evaluation of micronucleus formation and cytotoxicity by MTT-based assay. All experiments were performed in triplicate. Data normality was verified by the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Statistical analysis for genotoxicity was performed with Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn's tests and two-way ANOVA for cytotoxicity, both with a significance level of 5%.
resultsCells expressed typical levels of mesenchymal stem cell surface markers. No differences in the number of micronuclei were observed among all groups (P>0.05). In all periods analysed (24, 48, and 72 h), the sealers presented statistically different results for cell viability (P<0.05), with SBC presenting the lowest cytotoxicity, followed by the control group, MTF, and AHP.
conclusionAll sealers presented low genotoxicity, and Sealer Plus BC presented the lowest cytotoxicity.
