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

Objective: To compare the sealing ability, bond strength, and antimicrobial properties of BioRoot root canal sealer (RCS), TotalFill Bioceramic (BC), EndoSeal Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA), and AH Plus in endodontic therapy. Methods: Eighty single-rooted human teeth were divided into four groups (n = 20). Sealing ability was assessed via dye penetration, bond strength with push-out tests, and antimicrobial properties using agar diffusion tests against Results: BioRoot RCS showed the best sealing ability, highest bond strength, and largest antimicrobial zone. AH Plus had the poorest performance. Conclusion: BioRoot RCS is a superior endodontic sealer.
