Three different removal protocols for a bioceramic and a calcium hydroxide dressings: A microcomputed tomography study.
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: The removal of intracanal medicament is necessary to promote adequate sealing. Aims: This study evaluated three techniques (conventional irrigation, Ultrasonic activation, and XP-endo Finisher) to remove intracanal medication (Ultracal XS and Bio-C Temp) using micro-computed tomography. Materials and Methods: The roots were randomly divided into six groups ( Statistical Analysis Used: The Shapiro-Wilk normality test indicated a normal distribution of the data. Then, to compare the groups, one-way ANOVA and Tukey's Results: When the samples were evaluated after applying the protocols regarding the root canal thirds, there was a greater remaining volume of Bio C Temp in the cervical third compared to the middle and apical thirds in the Bio C Temp/M and Bio C Temp/XP groups ( Conclusion: In the present study, the activation methods of intracanal medications did not differ in the removal capacity between the two types of root canal dressing and none of the removal protocols were able to completely remove dressings from the root canal.
