Effect of Gutta-percha Solvents on the Bond Strength of Sealers to Intraradicular Dentin: A Systematic Review.
Review in Iranian endodontic journal, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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.
Who cites it
9 citing papers in PubMed, 1 synthesis or guideline pooled it, 8 citations in OpenAlex.

Abstract
Introduction: The aim of our systematic review was to assess the impact of gutta-percha solvents on the bond strength of endodontic sealers to intraradicular dentin using the push-out bond test. Methods and Materials: The literature was searched in databases (PubMed, Web of Science and Scopus) up to September 2020, using the following search terms: (bond strength AND solvent* AND sealer* AND (tooth root OR dentin OR retreatment OR root canal). No date limits were implemented, and English languages were included. The question research was constructed based on the PICO ( Results: Thirty-two papers were analyzed, seven accomplished the eligibility criteria and were selected for our systematic review. The global risk of bias was high. Due to variations in the methodological variables, a meta-analysis could not be performed. Conclusion: Our systematic review highlighted the adverse effect of chloroform, which decreased the bond strength of different sealers, and the generally higher bond strength of epoxy resin-based sealers, detected with the push-out bond test. We recommend the standardization of methods in future studies to obtain a more definitive conclusion about the influence of solvents on the bond strength of sealers to intraradicular dentin.
