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

Context: Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) is commonly used in endodontics for its strong antimicrobial properties, with heating enhancing its reactivity and ability to dissolve organic matter. Cryo-treated hypochlorite, however, can help reduce postendodontic pain. The chemical composition and temperature of irrigants play a key role in influencing the tooth structure's physical properties, potentially affecting treatment outcomes. Aims: The study aims to evaluate the effect of various temperatures of NaOCl which is 60°C, 45°C, 25°C, and 2°C on the fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth. Subjects and Methods: After the selection of 40 single-rooted teeth, the decoronation, and chemomechanical preparation was done, and the teeth were randomly assigned into four groups ( Statistical Analysis Used: One-way ANOVA and Results: Group II (45°C) exhibited significantly higher fracture resistance compared to all other groups ( Conclusions: For optimal effectiveness, it is recommended to irrigate with NaOCl at a temperature of 45°C. This ensures enhanced antimicrobial activity. In addition, this temperature helps maintain the integrity of the endodontically treated teeth.
