Comparative Evaluation of Dentinal Crack After Root Canal Preparation Using TruNatomy, Neoendo Flex, and Neoendo Neohybrid Files: 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
aimThe objective of the study was to assess and compare the dentinal microcracks produced by TruNatomy, Neoendo Flex, and Neoendo Neohybrid files during root canal preparation. MATERIAL AND
methodsIn this in vitro investigation, four groups of 25 samples each were assembled from 100 mandibular premolar teeth. Using TruNatomy, Neoendo Flex, and Neoendo Neohybrid files, or leaving the teeth unprepared (control), the teeth underwent root canal preparation. Horizontal sections were taken at different distances from the apex to analyze dentinal cracks. A stereomicroscope was used to assess the existence or lack of cracks, and chi-square tests were performed on the data.
resultsIn the control group, there were no cracks. TruNatomy files created fewer cracks compared to Neoendo Flex and Neoendo Neohybrid files.
conclusionsThis in vitro investigation demonstrates that the root surface might acquire dentinal cracks as a result of nickel-titanium instruments. Compared to Neoendo Flex and Neoendo Neohybrid files, TruNatomy showed a decreased incidence of cracks. However, it is important to note that these conclusions are limited to the scope of this study.
