Thermal, chemical and physical analysis of VDW.1Seal, Fill Root ST, and ADseal root canal sealers.
Article in Scientific reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
This study aimed to evaluate the thermal, chemical, and physical properties of VDW.1Seal, Fill Root ST, and ADseal sealers. Thermal properties were analyzed using Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Differential thermal analysis (DTA). Attenuated total reflection Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) analysis was performed as a complementary test to confirm TGA/DTA analysis. The chemical composition of the set sealer material was identified using an X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) system. Other physical properties of each sealer were investigated; ten specimens were used to measure the solubility (at 24 h and 28 days), and another ten specimens were used to assess pH changes and calcium ion release (after 7 and 14 days). Film thickness was done according to ISO 6876 specs. The data were analyzed using the two-way ANOVA test. Results showed that for all sealers, TGA analysis revealed a direct relationship between sealer mass loss and temperature rise. In addition, the decomposition of the tested sealers started at 145 °C, 135 °C and 91 °C for VDW.1Seal, ADseal sealer, and Fill Root ST, respectively. XRD analysis revealed a higher degree of crystallinity for VDW.1Seal and ADseal. ADseal showed the least solubility; VDW.1Seal exhibited the highest alkalinity, calcium ion release, and the lowest film thickness.
