Ready-to-use or Powder/Liquid Bioceramic Sealer: Micro-CT analysis of root canal filling removal according to ultrasonic agitation.

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
Background: This study evaluated the effectiveness of ultrasonic agitation in removing residual root canal filling material (RFM) from mandibular molars with isthmuses and to assess the influence of different bioceramic endodontic sealers, Bioroot RCS (BCS), and EndoSequence BC Sealer (ESBC). Material and Methods: Forty human mandibular molars were prepared with Reciproc R25 and divided based on the obturation material. The retreatment was performed (Reciproc R40) and the roots were randomly divided between agitation protocols (PUI/CUI) using a large solution volume (60 mL/canal). Results: The percentage reduction of RFM was measured after agitation. Ultrasonic agitation resulted in a percentage reduction of RFM ranging from 54.39% to 68.10% in the total area, and from 56.25% to 73.21% in the apical third ( Conclusions: While none of the protocols completely removed RFM, ultrasonic agitation proved effective in its reduction, independent of the sealer presentation and agitation method used.
