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

Root canal obturation involves filling of the chemomechanically prepared root canal space. Despite reduced microbial load, residual bacteria can still lead to reinfection and treatment failure. Currently, obturation techniques use a combination of gutta-percha and sealer, which requires the preparation of the root canal to specific sizes and tapers to enable the fitting of customized cones. This study aims to characterize the physical, chemical, and antimicrobial properties of a new light-curable injectable material (OdneFill, Switzerland) used to obturate the root canal. Odnefill and 2 root canal sealers (AH Plus and BioRoot RCS) were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive spectroscopy following exposure to chlorhexidine, sodium hypochlorite, and water. The flow, film thickness, radiopacity, solubility, and contact angle were evaluated. The susceptibility to microbial degradation was assessed by weight changes after contact with bacterial enzymes (lipase and cholesterol esterase). A multispecies biofilm composed of
