Smear Layer Removal from the Apical Third Using the Er,Cr:YSGG Photon-induced Photoacoustic Streaming.
Article 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.
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
Introduction: The purpose was to study the influence of Erbium,Chromium:Yttrium Scandium Gallium Garnet (Er,Cr:YSGG) laser at short pulse duration on smear layer removal from apical root third. Materials and Methods: Twenty-four single-rooted mandibular premolars were used. The roots length was cut to 14 mm and instrumented using the Protaper Gold system to size 40/0.06. The samples were divided into four groups ( Results: After the statistical test, the highest mean percentage was presented in the laser group with 17% EDTA (Group C=85.9804) followed by the laser group with 5.25% NaOCl (Group D=69.7817) and ultrasonic group (Group B=34.5453) respectively and the lowest mean percentage was in the control group (Group A=20.7969). Conclusion: Based on this in vitro study, PIPS technique using Er,Cr:YSGG pulse laser (0.5 W,5 Hz, air and water off) at short pulse duration and 17% EDTA proved effectively in smear layer removal, while the PIPS proved an acceptable result when the laser is used alone assisted by NaOCl.
