Assessment of Root Canal Filling Capacity and Quality of the Root Canal Pastes.
Article in Acta stomatologica Croatica, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background: The complex anatomy of root canals in primary teeth makes root canal treatment and canal filling difficult. Root canal filling materials should meet the basic requirements for hermetic filling in terms of their physicochemical properties, such as radiopacity and viscosity, which might be affected by heat. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of different temperatures on the filling quality and hermetic obturation ability of primary root canal filling pastes. Materials and Methods: Primary root canal filling pastes containing calcium hydroxide with barium sulphate and calcium hydroxide with iodoform were heated to four different temperatures (4°C, 23°C, 39°C and 55°C). After instrumentation, 80 endodontic blocks were filled with the heat-treated sealers. Digital radiographs were taken and analysed. The results were analyzed using Tukey's HSD, two-way Robust ANOVA, and the Bonferroni test for multiple comparisons. Results: The results of this study, the obturation radiopacity values of calcium hydroxide paste containing barium sulphate showed significant differences at different temperature values. Paste at 4°C showed significantly higher radiopacity (p<0.001). Paste at 55°C showed both significantly higher radiopacity (p<0.001), and the total unfilled area values obtained at 55°C was found to be significantly lower than the other temperatures (p=0.025). Conclusion: It was observed that the preheating process had a positive effect both on the filling quality and hermetic obturation capacity of primary root canal sealants at high temperatures.
