Laser-assisted Root Canal Filling Removal of Lower Incisors - A Micro-CT Study.
Article in Journal of International Society of Preventive & Community Dentistry. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Aim: To compare the efficiency of root canal filling removal from oval-shaped root canals with high-energy Er:YAG laser and additional instrumentation with a rotary Ni-Ti XP-Endo Finisher R system. Materials and Methods: The Results: A significant decrease in the quantity of the root canal filling was found following the first and after the second retreatment, compared to the initial values in all examined sections ( Conclusions: None of the systems resulted in complete root canal filling removal. Despite the improved results after the application of the supplementary retreatment protocol, none of the root canal walls were completely clean in the apical area. The high-energy Er:YAG laser and XP-Endo Finisher R rotary system can be successfully used in endodontic orthograde retreatment under relevant operating parameters.
