Analysis of pulp histological response to pulpotomy performed with white mineral trioxide aggregate mixed with 2.25% sodium hypochlorite gel in humans: a randomized controlled clinical trial.
Trial report in Scientific reports, 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
This study aimed to evaluate the histological success of pulpotomy in primary molars using white mineral trioxide aggregate (WMTA) mixed with 2.25% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) gel and to evaluate in vitro its physical and chemical properties. The study had a clinical stage and an in-vitro stage. The clinical study was conducted with 24 patients aged 8-10 years. It was a randomized controlled trial to perform a histologic evaluation of pulp response following pulpotomy. Primary first molars were randomly assigned in split mouth model to control group-WMTA + distilled water (DW) or experimental group - WMTA + NaOCl gel. Teeth were extracted after 7, 30 or 90 days and submitted to histological analysis. The second stage was an in-vitro study to evaluate the physical and chemical properties of the two materials tested. SEM and EDX analyses and pH level evaluations were performed after 24 h and 28 days. The histological findings revealed that while WMTA + NaOCl gel group showed better odontoblastic integrity (P < 0.05), WMTA + DW group had more favorable outcomes in dentin bridge formation and pulp calcification (P < 0.05). Pulp tissue hemorrhage and pulp fibrosis were similar between them (P > 0.05). Regarding materials' in vitro evaluation, the pH level indicated a higher initial pH for the WMTA + NaOCl gel group, which equalized after 28 days. SEM analysis initially showed a less homogeneous surface for WMTA + NaOCl gel, but it became similar after 28 days. EDX analysis indicated higher calcium and silicon percentages in the WMTA + NaOCl gel group initially, which increased in both groups after 28 days. Adding 2.25% NaOCl gel to WMTA enhanced odontoblastic integrity in both the short and medium term. In addition, it had a similar chemical composition, surface morphology, and alkalinity when compared to WMTA + DW mixture.
