Comparative evaluation of retreatability of three different bioceramic sealers using xylene in root canal retreatment - An
Article in Journal of conservative dentistry and endodontics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Aims: The study aimed to evaluate and compare the efficacy of xylene in dissolving newer bioceramic sealers versus an epoxy resin-based sealer during endodontic retreatment. Subjects and Methods: Comparing AH Plus to gutta-percha (GP) and CeraSeal (Meta Biomed), Prashanti Bioceramic Sealer, and MTA-Fillapex (Angelus), a total of 72 ( Statistical analysis used: The Tukey's post hoc test and one-way ANOVA were used to analyze the data. Results: Dissolving sealers with xylene showed varying degrees of efficiency. The results showed statistically significant difference between resin sealer and bioceramic sealers but no statistical difference among bioceramic sealers in the amount of residual after retreatment ( Conclusions: Bioceramic sealers were more easily dissolved by xylene than epoxy resin-based sealers. The variability among bioceramic sealers suggests that their composition significantly influences their retreatability to consider in endodontic retreatment planning.
