Effectiveness of Microwave Disinfection on Gutta Percha Cones Against
Article in Journal of pharmacy & bioallied sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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: Non-metallic dental materials like Gutta percha cones, ceramic crowns, endodontic posts are widely used material for the obturation of root canals, placement of post, crown and it is usually distributed by the manufacturers in sealed containers. Once exposed to dental environment or by handling and storage, there are more chances of getting contaminated by various microorganisms. The success of endodontic therapy depends on maintaining the aseptic condition throughout the procedure. To maintain an aseptic condition during endodontic procedures, chairside disinfection of endodontic material is more important. The aim of the study is to evaluate rapid and effective methods of disinfection of non-metallic dental materials using microwave against test organisms. Materials and methods: A total of 30 sample sizes with 5 per group consisting of gutta percha cones of size #30/0.09 taper were used and contaminated with Enterococcus faecalis and Conclusion: Microwave disinfection proved to be as effective as 3% and 5% Sodium hypochlorite against
