Penetration of Calcium Silicate and Epoxy Resin Sealers Into the Lateral Canals.
Article in International dental journal, 2024. 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
objectivesThe aim of this research was to compare the penetration ability of calcium silicate-based sealers (iRoot SP and TotalFill BC HiFlow) and an epoxy resin-based sealer (AH Plus) into the lateral canals using the single-cone (SC) or continuous wave compaction (CW) obturation techniques.
methodsNinety single-rooted human teeth received canal instrumentation and diaphanisation before artificial lateral canals were created at 3 different root levels. The specimens were randomly allocated into 6 groups based on the combination of obturation technique and sealer used. Radiographic and photographic measurements evaluated the percentage of sealer penetration. Statistical analysis was performed to compare the penetration ability amongst different types of sealers, obturation methods, and root levels.
resultsAlthough TotalFill BC HiFlow sealer combined with the CW technique demonstrated greater sealer penetration at the coronal level (P < .05), the overall penetration ability of iRoot SP, TotalFill BC HiFlow, and AH Plus was not significantly different. The deepest sealer penetration was observed at the apical root level.
conclusionsAll sealers showed similar penetration abilities into the lateral canals using the SC or CW techniques in vitro. Calcium silicate-based sealers have comparable penetration ability into lateral canals compared to epoxy resin-based sealers using SC or CW obturation techniques.
