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.

introductionIntracoronal bleaching serves as a conservative option for nonvital teeth that exhibit discoloration. Hydrogen peroxide (H

aimThis study aimed to compare and evaluate the effect of activated and nonactivated microbubbles on the efficacy of bleaching agents. METHODOLOGY: Forty-five human central incisors were collected and divided into three groups: Group I (HP), H

resultsData regarding color change using Vita shade were investigated for normality using the Kolmogorov Smirnov test and assessed a non-normal distribution. Intergroup comparisons at each particular time interval (baseline, day 7, and day 14) were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis H test followed by multiple pairwise comparisons using the Adjusted Bonferroni post hoc test. Intragroup comparisons between different time intervals were analyzed using related samples from Friedman's test followed by multiple pairwise comparisons using the post hoc Dunn test. The level of statistical significance was determined at
