Influence of ultrasonic agitation on pH and antibiofilm activity of endodontic sealers - An

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
Background: The influence of ultrasonic agitation (UA) on the pH and antibiofilm activity of AH Plus Jet (AHP) and BioRoot RCS (BCS) sealers was evaluated. Subgroups were created based on the sealer/UA application. Material and Methods: The pH was measured at 30 min., 3, 24, 72, 168 h. Antibiofilm activity was determined by direct and indirect contact tests (DCT/ICT) on dual-species biofilms (Enterococcus faecalis and Streptococcus oralis). Bacterial survival was assessed by colony-forming unit (CFU) counting. The Mann-Whitney test was applied for th pH analysis whereas the Kruskall-Wallis and Dunn tests were employed for the DCT/ICT evaluations. Results: BCS presented the highest pH at all time points ( Conclusions: It was concluded that UA reduced pH and did not improve the sealers' antibiofilm activity. BCS showed the highest pH values and antibiofilm activity.
