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 The present study aimed to assess the efficacy of a heat-treated, FlexiCON nickel-titanium (Ni-Ti) rotary instrumentation system and compare it with existing commonly used instrumentation systems (hand file, ProTaper Universal, and WaveOne) using the EndoVac irrigation system. Methodology A total of 210 single-rooted, human permanent anterior teeth were equally divided into four groups of 50 teeth each (Group I for step-back, group II for ProTaper rotary, Group III for WaveOne reciprocating, and Group IV for FlexiCON rotary instrumentation system), and 10 teeth were used as controls. Canals were irrigated with EndoVac irrigation in each group. Extruded debris, irrigating solution, and
