Accumulated Hard-tissue Debris Removal Using Different Ultrasonic Power Settings: A Micro-CT Study.
Article in European journal of dentistry, 2026. 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
Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of the Irrisonic Power ultrasonic tip activated at different power settings (10 and 30%) on the removal of accumulated hard-tissue debris (AHTD) from mandibular premolars using micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) analysis. Materials and Methods: A total of 20 extracted mandibular premolars were pair-matched based on root canal morphology using micro-CT imaging. All specimens were prepared with Reciproc R25 and randomly assigned to two experimental groups ( Statistical Analysis: Data were statistically analyzed using the Mann-Whitney test ( Results: Both protocols significantly reduced AHTD after supplementary irrigation. The Irrisonic Power 30% group exhibited lower residual debris (0.16 ± 0.13%) than the Irrisonic Power 10% group (0.90 ± 1.16%), with a statistically significant difference ( Conclusion: Supplementary irrigation with the Irrisonic ultrasonic tip at 30% power was more effective in removing AHTD than the 10% power setting.
