1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Background: Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) becomes a hard mass after setting and making it difficult to remove and can cause significant problems in the retreatment process. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different concentrations of hydrochloric acid (HCl) on MTA dissolution and its effect on dentin. Materials and Methods: In this Results: The lowest average time of reaching working length was observed with group 22.5% that was significantly lower than 15% and 7.5% concentrations ( Conclusion: The optimum concentration of HCl was 7.5%. Furthermore, different concentrations of HCl had no significantly different effect on the dentinal canal wall using Dino-Lite microscope with ×50.
