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
Background: This study aims to compare the cyclic fatigue resistance (CFR) of the Reciproc Blue and WaveOne Gold instruments under a dynamic cyclical fatigue test. Material and Methods: 210 Reciproc Blue "R25" and WaveOne Gold "primary" files were assigned into 7 groups (n =15) for each brand. Groups G: Files were not exposed to NaOCl or sterilization. Groups A and D: files were immersed for 3 minutes in NaOCl 1 and 3 times, respectively. Groups B and E: Files were autoclaved 1 and 3 times, respectively. Groups C and F: files were exposed to both, NaOCl immersion and autoclaving 1 and 3 times, respectively. Subsequently, files underwent a dynamic CFR test. The chemical composition of the files' surface from Group G was analysed by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). Cyclic fatigue resistance time was statistically analysed using 1-way and 2-way analyses of variance (ANOVA) and T-test. A Results: There was a significantly higher CFR of RB files than WOG in groups A, B, C, D and G ( Conclusions: The Reciproc Blue files outperformed the WaveOne Gold files in terms of CFR. The Reciproc Blue files were more vulnerable to the cycles of NaOCl immersion or autoclave sterilisation. The combined autoclaving and NaOCl cycles had the most significant impact on the mechanical properties of both files.
