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
This study aimed to evaluate the fracture resistance of root and sealer penetration after obturation using an epoxy resin sealer AH plus (AH+) and two different bioactive endodontic sealers, i.e., Totalfill BC Hiflow (TF BC), and experimental injectable bioactive glass (Exp.BG). A thermo-sensitive injectable sealer was prepared by using a non-ionic triblock copolymer and bioactive glass. The root canals of human extracted teeth were obturated with the respective sealers. The fracture resistance was analyzed at different time intervals, i.e., days 7, 30, and 90. The morphological and elemental analyses of the fractured roots were conducted with a scanning electron microscopy and a electron dispersive spectroscopy. Sealer penetration depth and the percentage of penetrated sealers into the dentinal tubules were assessed with the confocal laser scanning microscope. Statistical analysis was performed using a one-way ANOVA post hoc Tukey's test. The mean fracture force in AH+ was significantly higher on day 30 (664.08 ± 138.8 N) compared to day 7 (476.07 ± 173.2 N) and day 90 (493.38 ± 120.18 N). There was no statistically significant difference between the TF BC and Exp.BG at different time intervals. The maximum penetration was observed in the middle region compared to coronal and apical for the Exp.BG, followed by the TF BC and AH+ groups; however, a nonsignificant difference in penetration was found over time. It is concluded that the TF BC group showed overall better fracture resistance than AH+ at day 90. Exp.BG showed comparable sealer penetration to those of TF BC and better than those of AH+.
