Effect of sterilization on the cutting efficiency of two different rotary NiTi instruments (An In- vitro Study).
Article in BMC oral health, 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
backgroundDental rotary instruments can be applied under multiple canal conditions. This study assessed the performance of two batches of NiTi dental rotary files-Mani Jizai (Jz) and Dentsply ProTaper Next (PTN)-by evaluating their cutting efficiency.
methodsA total of 80 files (40 from each type), with 8x digital microscope magnification used for defect inspection, were tested half of which before and the other half after sterilization. The sample size was tested in extracted upper molars' distobuccal (DB) roots to assess cutting efficiency by volumetric changes showing removed dentin volume.
resultsThe Results indicated that the sterilized PTN files performed better at 5 mm, but no significant differences were noted at 10 mm between all file groups. At 15 mm, the performance of sterilized PTN files was inferior to that of non-sterilized Jz files.
conclusionSterilization and heat treatment affect file cutting efficiency by volumetric changes, especially at the coronal and apical one-thirds.
