Non-surgical Retrieval of Separated Endodontic Files Using Ultrasonics and Braiding Technique: A Case Series.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Managing endodontically treated teeth with canal obstructions, such as separated instruments, posts, metallic points, etc., presents a significant clinical challenge. Instrument separation during root canal therapy can compromise effective cleaning and shaping, potentially affecting the overall treatment outcome. The presence of a fractured instrument often limits access to the apical root canal region, impeding its adequate cleaning and thereby compromising the prognosis of the case. Therefore, retrieval of the separated fragment is essential to optimize clinical success. Among the various techniques available, ultrasonics has proven to be highly effective for removing fractured instruments by enabling precise navigation within complex canal anatomies. This case series details an efficient approach for the successful retrieval of separated instruments from the root canals using a combination of ultrasonic instruments, such as forceps and H-file.
