Tooth Discoloration Induced by Endodontic Sealers of Different Chemical Bases: A Systematic Review.
Synthesis in Brazilian dental journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 present study aimed to assess the tooth discoloration induced by endodontic sealers and establish a correlation between their distinct chemical compositions and this aesthetic concern. Five electronic databases and grey literature were systematically screened to identify studies comparing the tooth discoloration potential of endodontic sealers with different chemical bases. Studies that did not evaluate human teeth or did not employ spectrophotometry as a method for color measurement were excluded. The risk of bias in the included studies was assessed using a modified version of the JBI Critical Appraisal Checklist for Experimental Studies. Data were grouped according to the chemical composition of the sealers and analyzed qualitatively. Fourteen studies were included. None of the studies met all domains of the risk of bias checklist. Qualitative synthesis suggested that zinc oxide and eugenol-based sealers have a greater potential for tooth discoloration. Silicone-based and calcium hydroxide-based sealers demonstrated less potential for tooth discoloration than resin-based sealers and salicylate resin-based sealers containing calcium silicate. All investigated endodontic sealers induced tooth discoloration, which is chemical and time dependent. Zinc oxide and eugenol-based sealers exhibited a greater potential for tooth discoloration, whereas silicone and calcium hydroxide-based sealers showed less potential.
