Thermal behavior and cyclic fatigue resistance of three contemporary NiTi heat-treated single-file systems: metallurgical study.
Article in BMC oral health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundThis study aims to determine phase transformation temperatures of EndoSequence Reciprocating System (ESR), Wave One Gold (WOG), and Reciproc Blue (RB) via differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Further, to evaluate the cyclic fatigue behaviors by applying static (SF) and dynamic fatigue (DF) tests.
methodsAll files' systems were evaluated using DSC (Netzch 200 F3, Germany) with scans ranging from 80°C to -80°C to compare phase transformation. Twenty files from each file system (n = 20) were tested by cyclic fatigue in SF (n = 10) and in DF (n = 10) and the number of cycles to failure (NCF) was calculated for all groups. The files were rotated in a clockwise motion in a metal tube at 350rpm. The NCF was calculated by multiplying the time until fracture in minutes by speed (350 rpm). The NCF was analyzed statistically using a One-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) to determine if there were significant differences among the experimental groups.
resultsAll files exhibited a single peak in the cooling curve marking martensitic transformation with RB showing martensitic transformation start temperature at around 37
conclusionsRB shows martensite transformation start temperature close to body temperature. RB and ESR show improved cyclic fatigue resistance compared to WOG in the SF mode. In the DF mode, WOG showed the lowest cyclic fatigue resistance.
