Comparison of the sealing ability of bioceramic sealer against epoxy resin based sealer: A systematic review & meta-analysis.
Review in Journal of oral biology and craniofacial research. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 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
Objective: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate if bioceramic sealers had superior sealing properties to epoxy resin-based sealers. Methodology: A systematic search was performed in the following databases: MEDLINE Ovid (from 1946 onwards), Scopus, Google Scholar, EBSCO, and a hand search of references of included articles was also done. In vitro and ex vivo studies were included. Risk of bias was assessed, and quantitative synthesis was performed for microleakage measured using vertical dye penetration, horizontal dye penetration, and dentin-sealer gap. Summary effect was reported as Standardized Mean Difference with 95% CI. Subgroup analysis was performed based on the imaging modalities, the obturation techniques, and the file systems employed. Results: A total of 24 studies were included. Meta-analysis demonstrated no significant difference between the sealing ability of bioceramic sealer and epoxy resin-based sealer when measured using the microleakage tests [SMD -0.59(95%CI: 1.74,0.55)]. Subgroup analysis revealed no significant differences except when manual K-files were used. Heterogeneity was low when sub-group analysis was done. Conclusion: Bioceramic sealers and epoxy resin-based sealers both exhibited comparable sealing ability.
