Antimicrobial efficacy of nanoparticle calcium hydroxide and silver nanoparticles on
Article in Journal of conservative dentistry and endodontics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Background: In root canal disinfection, intracanal medicaments play a vital role. Typical intracanal medicament, calcium hydroxide (CH), has the lowest efficacy against the biofilm of Enterococcus faecalis. Nanoparticles and their combinations may increase antimicrobial activity, making them better than conventional CH. Aim: The aim is to determine the efficacy of nanoparticle CH (NPCH) and silver nanoparticles (AgNP) against E. faecalis. Materials and Methods: A total of 60 premolars were chosen. The samples were cleaned and decoronated. Cleaning and shaping were done. The apices were tightly sealed with modeling wax before being injected with 5 μl of E. faecalis (ATCC 29212) bacterial suspension, and then left to incubate. Samples were categorized into CH (G-I), NPCH (G-II), AgNP (G-III), and a combination of NPCH + AgNP (G-IV) according to the intracanal medication used. Eppendorf tubes were used to transfer dentin chips after they had been incubated for 7 days. The process of obtaining bacterial colony-forming units (CFUs) involves inoculating sediments onto blood agar. Results: The findings are statistically significant, number of CFUs seen with the Combination of NPCH + AgNP is lower than the other experimental groups, the group treated with CH had the largest number of CFUs. Conclusions: The highest antibacterial effect was seen in combination of NPCH + AgNP.
