1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The cytotoxic effects of three root canal sealers with different bases on human dental pulp stem cells were assessed in this study using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) test. The cytotoxic effects of three root canal sealers with different bases on human dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) were assessed in this study using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) test. The cytotoxicity of the sealers was tested after one, 4, and 7 d. Human dental pulp stem cell proliferation was concluded using an MTT assay. Cells not treated with sealer extract were used as controls. The absorption levels were measured using an Eliza spectrophotometer. P was set at 0.05 when the percentage of cell proliferation was matched between groups and observation times using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA).During the second passage (P2), human dental pulp stem cells displayed a single morphological and phenotypic trait, with fibroblast morphology being the most common. There were no appreciable variations between the four groups after a day. There was a notable variation in the average percentage of cell proliferation between the groups after 4 and 7 days. The control group had the highest percentage, followed by the GuttaFlow Bioseal group, the Well Root St group, and the AH-Plus group, which had the lowest percentage. For every sealing group, after one day, the highest mean percentage of cell proliferation was recorded, followed by day four, and after day seven, the lowest mean percentage. The observation periods showed minimal cytotoxic effects of GuttaFlow Bioseal, whereas AH-Plus was the most cytotoxic to human dental pulp stem cells. The highest mean percentage of cell proliferation for all sealers was recorded on day one.
