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
objectiveThis study aimed to evaluate and compare the dentinal defects caused by three different retreat-ment systems [Endostar RE Endo, XP-endo Retreatment, and MANI Gutta-Percha Removal (GPR)] and to assess the percentage of residual root canal filling material following the retreatment procedure.
methodsSixty extracted mandibular second premolars with straight oval canals were used. The roots were standardized to a length of 14 mm. All samples were instrumented with NiTi instruments up to size 30.04, then filled using single cone technique with AH plus sealer and gutta-percha. Four groups were created from the samples. Group 1 served as the negative control (n=15), while the remaining three groups (n=15 each) were categorized based on the retreatment system used. Stereomicroscope at magnification 45 x was used to evaluate the incidence of crack formation and propagation at apex of the roots and the residual volume percentage of root filling materials in groups of Endostar RE, MANI GPR, Xp retreatment systems assessed using CBCT. Fisher's exact test was used to analyze the incidence and propagation of cracks, while one-way ANOVA and Tukey's post hoc test were applied to assess differences in residual filling material volume among the groups P values at 0.05.
resultsThere is significance difference (p=0.028) between the Endostar and Xp retreatment system. The highest of dentinal defect (10\15) with Endostar retreatment system followed by (4\15) with GPR system and (2\15) with XP endo retreatment system.Highest residual filling material mean at Endostar RE retreatment system (51.97) and lowest mean (39.07) at Xp retreatment system A statistically significant difference was observed between the groups (p<0.001), particularly between the Endostar and XP retreatment systems.
conclusionNo system was capable of completely eliminating obturated materials. The XP-endo Retreat-ment system showed the lowest incidence of crack formation and propagation and proved to be the most effective in removing gutta-percha and sealer.
