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: The study aimed to compare the amount of extrusion, the time taken to achieve apical patency and duration for removing filling material during the retreatment of teeth filled with NeoMTA 2® (Avalon Biomed, Houston, TX, USA), a calcium silicate hydraulic cement and AHPlus™ (Denstsply, Konstanz, Germany), a resin-based cement, using continuous rotation and asymmetric reciprocating rotation instruments. Material and Methods: 60 monoradicular human teeth were selected and instrumented with Race #35.06 (FKG Dentaire, La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland). The teeth were randomly assigned to two groups based on the cement used for filling (n = 30 each) AHPlus™ and NeoMTA 2®. Both groups were obturated with gutta-percha, using the lateral condensation technique. During non-surgical retreatments, each group was further divided into two subgroups: D-Race (FKG) and Reciproc (VDW, Munich, Germany) (n = 15 each). The total time to achieve apical patency and complete the retreatment were recorded. Extruded debris were collected and weighted. Student t-tests were employed for mean comparisons to assess significant differences between variables. Results: No statistically significant differences were found in terms of type of cement and apical extrusion. Regarding the rotation system, using the Reciproc system resulted in longer time to achieve patency and retreatment times compared to D-Race system, with statistically significant differences ( Conclusions: All systems used in retreatment led to apical extrusion. Apical patency was achieved in all cases.
