Characterisation of the Bioactivity and the Solubility of a New Root Canal Sealer.
Article in International dental journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
objectivesThis study aimed to analyse the effect of using phosphate buffer solution (PBS) on the solubility, pH changes, surface structure, and elemental composition of a new bioceramic Cerafill sealer compared with Endosequence sealer and AH26 resin-based sealer.
methodsA fresh mixture of each sealer moistened with either deionised water or PBS was subjected to a setting time test. Set discs (n = 10) were submerged in either deionised water or PBS to evaluate pH changes and solubility at 1, 7, 14, 21, and 28 days. Surface characterisation of the sealers was done before and after solubility tests using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX), and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy analyses.
resultsAn analysis of variance revealed a significant delay in setting of BC-Endosequence (P < .001) with no significant difference when each sealer was moistened with deionised water or PBS (P > .05). Both bioceramic sealers exhibited highly alkaline pH (range, 9.47-10.72). When the sealer was submerged in deionised water, Endosequence exhibited significantly greater solubility, whilst Cerafill and AH26 gained weight. When the sealers were submerged in PBS, both bioceramic sealers gained more weight, with significantly greater values for Endosequence (P < .001). Hydroxyapatite formation was revealed by SEM/EDX and FTIR.
conclusionsPBS promoted the formation of hydroxyapatite crystals that protect the bioceramic sealers from dissolving.
