Comparative evaluation of bioactive calcium silicate coating on functionalized gutta-percha and its effect on bioceramic sealer wettability - 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. It is linked to trial NCT07600099 (Comparative Evaluation of Obturation Using Bioceramic Nano-coated Gutta-percha and Bioceramic-based Sealer Versus Gutta-percha and Resin-based Sealer on Postoperative Pain and Swelling), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
Aim: The study aims to evaluate the calcium silicate coating on the gutta-percha (GP) surface, modified with different pretreatments, and the effect of surface pretreatments on AH Plus bioceramic sealer wettability. Materials and Methods: Sixty GP discs were randomly assigned to three groups. Group 1: no surface pretreatment and calcium silicate coating, Group 2: chemical treatment and calcium silicate coating, and Group 3: Nonthermal atmospheric plasma treatment and calcium silicate coating. Afterward, the topographic examination was performed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray analysis, and the wettability of the bioceramic sealer was analyzed using a goniometer. Results: SEM analysis revealed that Group 3 showed a nanostructured calcium silicate coating with high levels of calcium (Ca) and silicon (Si) (106.38 ± 2.74 and 270.81 ± 47.18, respectively) and the least contact angle (52.73 ± 6.91), indicating superior sealer wettability. Conclusion: Functionalized GP with a nanostructured calcium silicate thin film provides better wettability with AH Plus bioceramic sealer. Surface modifications of GP were improved by pretreatments, resulting in enhanced coatings. Among the pretreatment methods, plasma pretreatment resulted in superior calcium silicate coating and sealer wettability.
