Antibacterial activity of root canal sealers against established monospecies biofilm: An
Article in Journal of conservative dentistry and endodontics. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Endodontic treatment is primarily a combination of chemical as well as mechanical preparation of canal space which helps in the placement of a biocompatible material. The main purpose of endodontic treatment is to eradicate microorganisms from the infected root canal system and prevent recontamination. The principle constituents of an endodontic filling are core material "Gutta Percha" and "Endodontic Sealers." Endodontic sealers should ideally eliminate residual bacteria and prevent reinfection after chemomechanical treatment and obturation of the root canal. The aim of this study is to investigate the antimicrobial effect of four endodontic sealers against bacteria in biofilms commonly detected from persistent and secondary endodontic infections.
