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
Context: Root-end filling materials enhance the apical sealing ability of the root canal to avoid leakage of irritants and to prevent the reentering of microorganisms. Aim: The objective of the present study was to compare and evaluate apical microleakage in retrograde filling materials with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), Biodentine, and Bio-C Repair using an ultraviolet (UV)-visible spectrophotometer. Materials and Methods: Fifty maxillary incisors were selected and decoronated. Instrumentation was done with ProTaper rotary files and obturated with AH Plus sealer and ProTaper gutta-percha cone using lateral condensation technique. The apical part of each root was resected at 90° to the long axis of the root for 3 mm, and retrograde cavity preparation was done up to 3 mm using an ultrasonic retro tip. After conditioning the root end with 17% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, the teeth were divided into four groups. Group 1 = Positive Control ( Statistical Analysis: The data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance and Tukey Results: The results showed that Biodentine had the least dye absorbance, which means less microleakage, and there was no significant difference between MTA and Bio-C Repair. Conclusion: Biodentine showed superior sealing ability as a retrograde filling material compared to Bio-C Repair and MTA.
