Evaluation of the Anti-microbial Efficacy of a Novel Endodontic Irrigant Against Enterococcus faecalis: An In Vitro Study.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
introductionMATERIALS AND
methodsIn this invitro experimental study, the antimicrobial efficacy of SMV was evaluated against
resultsThe results of the study have shown the zone of inhibition of Group 4 (2% CHX solution) is 19 mm, which demonstrated the best outcome. When comparing the test samples, Group 3 (SMV solution 10 M/L concentration) has the best zone of inhibition, measuring 14 mm, followed by Group 2 (SMV solution 5 M/L concentration), which is 9 mm.
conclusionThe results of this in vitro study have proven that SMV's anti-microbial activity, albeit less potent than CHX in this in vitro investigation, has demonstrated that it can be utilized as an efficient endodontic irrigant.
