1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectivesThis study aimed to compare the differences among four kinds of mechanical Ni-Ti files including T-Flex, Reciproc Blue (RB), ProTaper Gold (PTG), and ProTaper Universal (PTU) in dentinal microcrack generation after root canal preparation

methodsA total of 32 freshly extracted double-root-canal premolars with an angle not exceeding 10° were selected and established as root canal preparation models

resultsOverall, 11.04% of the images presented dentinal defects (

conclusionsDenti-nal microcracks already existed in advance in extracted teeth before root canal preparation. Root canal preparation using the T-Flex, RB, PTG, and PTU systems did not induce the formation of new dentinal microcracks on the straight root canals of premolars.
