Effect of Endodontic Irrigants and Medicaments Mixed with Silver Nanoparticles against Biofilm Formation of
Article in Iranian endodontic journal, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of chlorhexidine (CHX), sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), calcium hydroxide (CH) and double antibiotic paste (DAP) mixed with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) against Methods and materials: Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC), and biofilm formation inhibition (after 72 h) of the experimental substances alone or mixed with AgNPs were measured against Results: The MIC values for CHX, NaOCl, CH and DAP were equal to 0.012, 1.25, 1.6 and 0.156 mg/mL, and their MBC's were 0.025, 2.5, 0 and 0.625 mg/mL. After mixing them with AgNPs, the MIC's for CHX, NaOCl, CH and DAP were reduced to 0.0032, 0.158, 0.2 and 0.0391 mg/mL, while their MBC's were reduced to 0.0064, 0.0632, 0.401 and 0.0156 mg/mL. Biofilm formation inhibition occurred in higher dilutions of all irrigants and medicaments as they were mixed with Ag NPs. Conclusions: Adding AgNPs resulted in an increased antimicrobial activity at the tested dilutions for all experimental substances. More investigations in
