Evaluating Calcium Hydroxide Removal Techniques in Endodontics: A Comparative Analysis.
Article in Journal of dentistry (Shiraz, Iran), 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
Background: Endodontic therapy plays a pivotal role in dentistry, with effective removal of intracanal medications crucial for successful treatment. The lingering presence of calcium hydroxide within dentinal walls can impede sealer adhesion and compromise treatment outcomes. Purpose: This study aimed to compare the efficacy of various methods for removing calcium hydroxide from different regions of the root canal wall. Materials and Method: In this Results: The results indicated that the Gentle Brush method's superior efficacy in calcium hydroxide removal compared to other files, which was statistically significant ( Conclusion: The findings suggest that a Gentle Brush combined with an ethylene-diamine-tetra-acetic acid washing solution represents the most effective method for canal cleaning and calcium hydroxide removal. This study underscores the importance of employing efficient techniques to enhance treatment quality in endodontic practice.
