Comparison between AH plus sealer and total fill bioceramic sealer performance in previously untreated and retreatment cases of maxillary incisors with large-sized periapical lesion: a randomized controlled trial.
Article in BDJ open, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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 aims to assess the efficacy of bioceramic (BC) sealer when applied using the single cone technique (SCT), in comparison to AH Plus sealer applied with the cold lateral condensation technique (LCT), concerning their impact on the healing of large-sized periapical lesions in both untreated and retreatment cases. MATERIALS AND
methodsA randomized controlled trial was conducted on 41 patients who had 60 permanent teeth in the maxillary incisors that were accompanied by large-sized periapical lesions. The included teeth were radiographed with cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images and divided equally into two groups according to the endodontic treatment statute (30 untreated previous cases and 30 retreated cases). Subsequently, teeth received uniform preparation, irrigation, and dressing procedures. Then each group was divided equally according to the used sealer (15 teeth obturated using AH plus sealer with LCT and 15 teeth obturated using BC sealer with SCT). All cases were followed up after 6 and 12 months with CBCT images. Subsequently, the change in periapical lesion diameter (PLD) was observed as an indicator to determine the treatment outcome score. One-way ANOVA and Mann-Whitney U test were used to analyze the PLD changing and scoring the treatment outcome during the follow-up periods. The significance level was set at α = 0.05.
resultsThere were no statistically significant differences between untreated and retreatment cases neither using AH plus sealer with LCT nor BC sealer with SCT regarding changes in PLD in the follow-up periods. Moreover, there were no significant differences between groups regarding treatment outcome scores in the follow-up periods. All groups showed a high success rate.
conclusionsSuccessful treatment was achieved for untreated or retreatment maxillary incisor cases accompanied by large-sized periapical lesions using either BC sealer with the SCT or AH Plus sealer with LCT with a similar high success rate up to 12 months follow-up period.
