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
Aims and background: Evaluation of the effects of different chelating agents on the calcium loss of root canal dentin. Materials and methods: Around 65 single-rooted teeth were collected and decoronated. The working length was determined, and biomechanical preparation was done in a crown-down fashion using the HyFlex Control Memory rotary nickel-titanium (Ni-Ti) system until apical preparation of 30.04. Canals were irrigated with chelating agents and sodium hypochlorite between each file insertion. Based on the type of chelating agents used, the samples were randomly divided into five groups ( Results: With respect to the control group, groups IV and I show a statistically significant difference compared to groups II and III ( Conclusion: SmearClear showed significantly higher decalcifying capability compared to EDTA, EDTA and CHX, and etidronic acid. Hence, its combined use with an organic solvent can be recommended for efficient smear layer removal. Clinical significance: Minimally invasive endodontic treatment is aimed at preserving the strength of the treated tooth without compromising cleaning effectiveness. Therefore, comparing the efficacy of different chelating agents will be promising with respect to maximum calcium loss both qualitatively and quantitatively.
