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

Background: Coronal seal is one of the essential factors that affects the success of endodontic treatment and reinforces the apical seal. The intra-orifice barrier is an efficient alternative approach to decrease coronal leakage in endodontically treated teeth and various materials have been used for this purpose. This study aimed to compare the coronal sealing of flowable composite, resin-modified glass ionomer (RMGI), and mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) in endodontically treated teeth. Materials and Methods: In this Results: The positive control group showed the highest amount of dye penetration compared to other groups (12.34 ± 0.46). Dye penetration in the MTA group was significantly lower (4.25 ± 0.31) compared to the RMGI group (5.94 ± 0.24) ( Conclusion: MTA reduces the coronal leakage and provides an acceptable coronal seal in endodontically treated teeth, especially compared to RMGI, and therefore, using MTA as an intra-orifice barrier increases the endodontic treatment success rate.
