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
Aim: The aim of the study was to determine the porosity, dissolution and apical extrusion of AH Plus, MTA Fillapex and EndoSequence BC sealer after immersion in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) using microcomputed tomography (micro-CT). Methodology: Forty-eight single-rooted teeth were selected. Gutta percha and one of the aforementioned root canal sealers was used for obturation using continuous wave technique. The specimens were scanned after obturation and after seven days of immersion in PBS, by using micro-computed tomography. Porosity, sealer dissolution and apical extrusion were calculated. Statistical analysis was done by using paired Results: Significantly higher percentage of porosity and dissolution of sealer in the apical 4 mm was found for MTA Fillapex and EndoSequence BC sealer than for AH Plus. The incidence of apical extrusion was significantly more in MTA Fillapex (56.25%), followed by EndoSequence BC (31.25%) and AH Plus (0%). Conclusions: None of the three root canal sealers exhibited perfect three-dimensional obturation. The sealers manifested porosity, dissolution and apical extrusion to varying degrees both after obturation and after storage in PBS for 7 days.
