Effect of different taper values and bioceramic sealer forms on fracture resistance of mandibular premolars prepared with single-file Ni-Ti systems: an in vitro study.

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
backgroundThe objective of this study was to examine the impact of varying taper dimensions and different forms of bioceramic sealers on the fracture resistance of mandibular premolar teeth prepared using single-file Ni-Ti instrumentation systems in vitro.
methodsForty single-rooted mandibular premolars were randomly allocated into four groups (n = 10) according to the taper value and type of sealer used: Group T4-AHBC - 25/0.04 taper with AH Plus BCS (premixed syringe form), Group T6-AHBC - 25/0.06 taper with AH Plus BCS, Group T4-BRCS - 25/0.04 taper with BioRoot RCS (powder-liquid form), and Group T6-BRCS - 25/0.06 taper with BioRoot RCS. Root canals were prepared and then obturated with the designated sealers. Using a universal testing machine at a crosshead speed of 1 mm/min, fracture resistance was measured, and the resulting data were analyzed statistically.
resultsStatistical analysis revealed that there were no significant differences in fracture resistance between the groups (p = 0.188). Neither the taper value nor the bioceramic sealer form had a significant effect on fracture resistance.
conclusionsWithin the limitations of this in vitro study, variation in taper values and sealer forms did not affect fracture resistance. Both powder-liquid and premixed syringe forms demonstrated similar performance, suggesting that clinicians may choose between them based on handling preference and clinical practicality.
