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

Background Successful endodontic treatment depends on several elements. The most important of which is the elimination of microorganisms within the root canal system. To achieve this, sterility must be maintained during all steps of the treatment. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure the sterility of the tools used in endodontic treatment, whether new or reused. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of several methods for sterilizing endodontic files by evaluating their ability to eliminate a specific type of bacteria. Methods Twenty stainless steel K files were divided into four groups. Files were contaminated with a strain of
