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/purpose: Sealing ability in root canal obturation has always been a key concern for endodontic success. The purpose of this study was to analyze the percentage of voids in root canal space obturated by using single cone hydraulic condensation with different root canal sealers and to compare those with AH Plus sealer. Materials and methods: Experiments were conducted using twenty 3D-printed upper first premolars. After the buccal root canals were prepared using Ni-Ti rotary instruments, the teeth were divided into four groups: the AH Plus, BC sealer, BC sealer HiFlow, and Endoseal MTA groups. All buccal canals were obturated by single-cone hydraulic condensation. All specimens were scanned using micro-computed tomography and the percentage volume of the voids inside and outside the filled materials (V Results: The results indicated that most of the voids were presented near the interface (V Conclusion: For the percentage volume of voids between the root canal filling material and root canal surface, though the BC sealer Hiflow is slightly larger than Endoseal MTA, which is still much less than BC sealer and AH Plus.
