Effect of Active Oxygen Fluid (Blue®m) as a Root Canal Irrigant Against Enterococcus Faecalis.
Trial report in Oral health & preventive dentistry, 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
purposeTo evaluate the antimicrobial effect of a new active oxygen fluid (Blue®m) as a root canal irrigant against Enterococcus faecalis compared to sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl). MATERIAL AND
methodsForty-five extracted single-canaled human teeth were selected, received root canal preparation, autoclaved, and contaminated with Enterococcus faecalis. The specimens were randomly allocated into three groups: Group (A) served as the negative control, receiving irrigation with saline (n = 15); Group (B) was irrigated with 5.25% NaOCl (n = 15); and Group (C) was irrigated with 10 mL of Blue®m (n = 15). Microbial sampling from the root canals was performed before and after irrigation. The difference between the pre-irrigation and post-irrigation colony-forming units (CFU/mL) was calculated. The data was analysed using a one-way ANOVA followed by post-hoc Tukey tests. The significance level was set at 5%.
resultsBlue®m statistically significantly reduced the bacterial load compared to saline (p = 0.009), but NaOCl was most effective, outperforming both (p 0.0001).
conclusionIrrigation with Blue®m demonstrated antibacterial efficacy against Enterococcus faecalis, but it was not as effective as NaOCl.
