Effect of different root canal drying techniques on the push-out bond strength of ceraseal sealer - 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
Context: Different levels of residual moisture in the root canal have shown to affect the sealing properties of resin-based and calcium silicate based sealers. Aim: This study was aimed to compare the effect of different root canal drying techniques on the push-out bond strength (PBS) of AH Plus and Ceraseal sealer. Methodology: Sixty-four single rooted premolars were decoronated and subjected to biomechanical preparation with a ProTaper Gold rotary file up to size F2 and were divided into two groups based on the type of sealer used: Group A: AH Plus, and Group B: Ceraseal. Each group was further subdivided into four subgroups based on the different drying techniques using paper point, ethanol, air vacuum, and control. Samples were obturated and were tested for PBS using the universal testing machine. Statistical Analysis: The data were statistically evaluated using the one-way ANOVA test and Tukey's Results: The ceraseal sealer group with drying technique using paper point was found to have the highest push-out strength, and the AH Plus sealer group (control) was found to have the lowest PBS. Conclusion: Canal drying technique using paper point for the ceraseal sealer group and 95% ethanol for the AH Plus sealer group were found to have improved adhesion to the root dentin.
