The effects of antimicrobial peptides buCaTHL4B and Im-4 on infectious root canal biofilms.

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
Purpose: The primary cause of pulp and periapical diseases is the invasion of bacteria into the root canal, which results from the continuous destruction of dental hard tissues. Effective management of infections during root canal therapy necessitates effectively irrigation. This study aims to investigate the effects of two antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), buCaTHL4B and Im-4, on root canal biofilms Methods: Two-species biofilms ( Results: Compared to 1% NaOCl, 10 μg/mL buCaTHL4B or Im-4 exhibited significantly greater bactericidal effects on the two-species biofilms ( Conclusion: buCaTHL4B and Im-4 exhibited remarkable antibacterial and anti-biofilm capabilities against pathogenic root canal biofilms
