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 evaluates the sealing ability of multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)-incorporated root canal sealers in the apical third of the root canal. Fifty extracted single-rooted human teeth were divided into five groups: control (no sealer), MWCNT-incorporated AH Plus, MWCNT-incorporated Seal Apex, AH Plus and Seal Apex. The sealing ability was assessed through dye penetration microleakage. Results indicated that the MWCNT-incorporated sealers exhibited significantly less microleakage compared to traditional sealers, with MWCNT-incorporated AH Plus showing the least leakage. The control group exhibited the highest microleakage. MWCNTs enhanced the sealing efficacy by improving sealer adaptation to the canal walls. These findings highlight the potential of carbon nanotube-enhanced sealers to improve endodontic treatment outcomes. Further studies incorporating in vivo models and longer evaluation periods are recommended to confirm the clinical applicability of these advanced materials.
