Examining the Physicochemical Composition of Three Bioceramic Putties for Endodontic Use.
Article in European endodontic journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectiveThis study aimed to address the lack of comparative analyses of newly developed bioceramic materials by examining the chemical composition, thermodynamic profile, and microscopic surface features of three bioceramic putties: EndoSequence BC Root Repair Material Fast Set Putty (ESRRM-FS), BIO-C Repair (BCR), and Cera Putty (CP).
methodsSamples of each of the three bioceramic putty obtained directly from manufacturers were prepared for analysis of physicochemical composition and microscopic features by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) imagery, and energy-disper-sive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The data obtained was qualitatively and statistically analysed. Statistical signif-icance was determined at p≤0.05.
resultsDSC analysis indicated a standard polymeric vehicle for BCR and CP, coinciding with the polyethene glycol (PEG) thermal profile; the polymeric vehicle in ESRRM-FS remains to be identified. The material with the highest heat capacity was CP (p<0.05), followed by ESRRM-FS and BCR. TGA revealed an inflexion point at 394.12 ºC for ESRRM-FS, which may correspond to the mass loss of dihydroxylation of calcium hydroxide. A more homogenous structure was observed in scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images for ESRRM-FS. EDS analysis indicated BCR had minimal amounts of aluminium (2.06+-0.44%) and a lower percentage of cal-cium than ESRRM-FS (9.11+-1.38% vs. 11.3+-0.87%). CP was composed of aluminium (49.35+-7.01%), carbon (30.65+-5.62%), and oxygen (16.75+-2.44%); no silicon was identified. ESRRM-FS had no aluminium present and the highest calcium percentage (11.3+-0.87%) (p<0.05).
conclusionBCR is a Portland cement-derived material with a lower percentage of calcium than ESRRM-FS and minimal amounts of aluminium. CP is a monocalcium aluminate cement, mainly composed of aluminium, carbon, and oxygen. ESRRM-FS is a biphasic material with the highest calcium percentage among all materials studied and no aluminium.
