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

The surface condition of four Ni-Ti rotary file systems after using them to shape premolar root canals ten times are of interest. Laboratory tests through SEM showed substantial surface deterioration because pitting dramatically increased after ten procedures (p < 0.001). The Twisted File system remained in the best condition with the minimum amount of surface damage and second place went to ProTaper Next and V Taper 2H ranked after them and Mtwo showed the maximum wear. The surface wear observed in Mtwo exceeded that of all the other tested Ni-Ti rotary file systems. The assessment of file surfaces aids in minimizing clinical failures of instruments.
