The Effect of Set Conditions on Volumetric Changes of Different Hydraulic Cements: An In Vitro Root-End Model.
Article in International dental journal, 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
objectivesThis study aimed to compare the percentage of volumetric changes between incompletely and completely set conditions of ProRoot MTA (MTA) and Endosequence Root Repair Material Fast-Set Putty (ERRM-FSP) as root-end filling materials in a simulated surgical environment.
methodsThirty-two human mandibular premolars with single, straight canals were selected. The canals were prepared and obturated with gutta-percha and AH-plus sealer. Retrograde cavities were created, and the teeth were divided into 4 groups (n = 8) based on materials and set conditions: (1) incompletely set MTA, (2) completely set MTA, (3) incompletely set ERRM-FSP and (4) completely set ERRM-FSP. After root-end filling, the incompletely set groups were immediately immersed in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) while the completely set groups were stored in a humidity chamber for 7 days before immersion. The volume of root-end filling materials was assessed using micro-CT at 1- and 7-day post-immersion, and volumetric changes were compared using an independent t-test (P < 0.05).
resultsMTA showed significantly greater volumetric changes in the incompletely set condition compared with the completely set condition at both time points (P < .05). Incompletely set MTA also had greater volumetric reductions than ERRM-FSP at the 7-day period (P = .004).
conclusionsIncompletely set MTA exhibited significantly greater volumetric reduction compared to completely set MTA, whereas ERRM-FSP showed no significant difference between the two conditions. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: These findings highlight differences in the volumetric stability of root-end filling materials under different set conditions, emphasising the need to test materials in conditions simulating clinical practice.
