Antimicrobial efficacy of sodium hypochlorite and hyper-pure chlorine dioxide in the depth of dentin tubules in vitro.
Article in BMC oral health, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectivesThe study aimed to compare the antibacterial effect of a novel disinfectant, hyper-pure chlorine dioxide (hClO MATERIALS AND
methodsThe distal root of the extracted lower molars was infected artificially with Enterococcus faecalis. The control group was rinsed with saline, and the test groups were irrigated with either 5% NaOCl or 0.12% hClO
resultsThe percentage of dead bacteria was higher both in the NaOCl (45.1 ± 2.3%, p < 0.01) and in the hClO
conclusionsOur results suggest that the functional penetration depth of NaOCl is at least 2-3 times more than published to date. There is no difference in disinfection effectiveness along the dentin tubules between NaOCl and hClO CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Hyper-pure ClO
