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

Introduction: Furcation perforation is a common dental issue that can result in substantial tooth loss if not repaired with a material that effectively seals the area. Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and Biodentine have been previously studied for their sealing capabilities, but Bio-C Repair is a relatively new material that is yet to be evaluated. This study sought to compare and evaluate the sealing potential of MTA, Biodentine, and Bio-C Repair as furcation perforation repair materials using the glucose penetration method. Materials and Methods: Forty-five mandibular molars were sectioned 3 mm above the cementoenamel junction. Access openings were prepared, and intentional perforations were created in the pulpal floor using a round bur. The specimens were randomly divided into three groups of 15. Group 1 was repaired with MTA, Group 2 with Biodentine, and Group 3 with Bio-C Repair. The sealing potential was evaluated using a glucose penetration test. Data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance with Tukey's Results: The test results demonstrated that glucose penetration was significantly least in Group 3 (1.5313), followed by Group 1 (8.2208) and highest in Group 2 (8.5622) at Conclusions: Within the study's limitations, Bio-C Repair exhibited the best sealing ability for furcation perforations, followed by MTA and then Biodentine. Therefore, Bio-C Repair could be a suitable alternative to MTA and Biodentine for repairing furcal perforations.
