An In Vitro Evaluation of the Antimicrobial Activity of Probiotics Against Endodontic Pathogens.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
BACKGROUND AND
aimDespite scientific evidence that even some microorganisms may be useful, endodontic intervention has persisted to prioritize the removal of all microorganisms from the root canal system. Indeed, information regarding the significant role of probiotic microorganisms in endodontic treatment has been sparse. This study aimed to carry out an in vitro evaluation of the antimicrobial activity of probiotics against endodontic pathogens.
methodsThe evaluation was carried out in three stages. In Stage 1, the agar cup well procedure was used to analyse the efficiency of probiotics microorganisms against
resultsThere was marked antimicrobial activity of probiotic microorganisms against the pathogenic microorganisms
conclusionIt can be concluded that probiotic therapy is a promising antibacterial treatment approach that should be further investigated. This study shows that probiotics can help effectively in endodontic treatment and that more in vitro as well as in vivo research is needed to fully appreciate the advantages of bacteriotherapy in the field of endodontics.
