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

Root-end filling material apical microleakage in ultrasonic retro tip-prepared retro-cavities is of interest to dentists. Hence, 68 entire maxillary second premolars and mandibular premolars with a single root, removed for orthodontic reasons from individuals were selected for this study. A 3 mm apical root-end excision was performed utilizing a diamond disc while, root-end cavities were created utilizing an ultrasonic retro-tip. Four groups of 17 teeth were randomly assigned to receive retrograde cavity repairs with mineral trioxide aggregate (group 1); Biodentine (group 2), total fill bioceramic root repair material (group 3) and resin-modified glass ionomer cement (group 4). It was observed that bioceramic root repair material (0.197±0.341), biodentine (0.256±0.547) and mineral trioxide aggregate (0.814±0.436) exhibited a significantly lesser microleakage than resin-modified glass ionomer cement (1.381±0.743). Thus, the bioceramic root repair material exhibited the least mean microleakage among all the materials that were assessed in this study.
