Antimicrobial Properties of Newer Calcium Silicate-Based Pulp-Capping Agents Against Enterococcus Faecalis and Streptococcus Mutans: An In-Vitro Evaluation.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
aimThis study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial activity of calcium silicate-based pulp-capping agents against METHODS AND MATERIALS: The agar diffusion method was used to evaluate the antibacterial properties of pulp-capping agents. The materials used included Bio-C® Temp (Angelus, Brazil), Dia-Root™ Bio mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) (Diadent Europe B.V., Almere, Netherlands), Biodentine™ (Septodont, Saint-Maur-des-Fossés, France), and TheraCal LC (Bisco Inc., Schaumburg, IL). Eighteen petri dishes, nine for
resultsAt 24 hours, the highest zone of inhibition was found in the Biodentine™ group (15.83 ± 0.79 mm), followed by Dia-Root™ Bio MTA (14.5 ± 0.88 mm), TheraCal LC® (12.56 ± 0.53 mm), and the shortest in the Bio-C Temp (9.61 ± 0.70 mm) against
conclusionsBiodentine™ has higher antibacterial efficacy against
