1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Background and Aim: This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of different irrigant activation techniques in dissolving pulp tissue in the chamber of mandibular molars with Truss endodontic access, using a novel Materials and Methods: Twenty-four freshly extracted human mandibular molars were selected, sectioned longitudinally, and standardized volume of bovine pulp tissue was placed into the pulp chamber. The split halves were then reassembled, sealed, and subjected to biomechanical preparation. The samples were randomly assigned to three groups based on the irrigation technique used: Conventional needle irrigation (CNI), modified endovac irrigation (MEV), and passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI). Tissue dissolution was evaluated using stereomicroscopic imaging at ×10-×22 magnification. Statistical analysis was done using one-way ANOVA and post hoc tests. Results: The PUI group exhibited the highest mean percentage of bovine pulp tissue dissolved, followed by the CNI and MEV groups. However, the differences among the three groups were not statistically significant ( Conclusion: All three irrigant activation techniques, CNI, MEV, and PUI, were similar in terms of bovine pulp tissue dissolution while using the truss access preparation in the new
