The effect of four calcium silicate-based sealers and sealer extrusion on postoperative pain: A randomized clinical trial.

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
Introduction: This study compared the effect of four calcium silicate-based sealers and sealer extrusion on postoperative pain (POP). Materials and Methods: A total of 42 patients, having their first or second mandibular molars without apical periodontitis necessitating vital pulp therapy, were included in the study. The shaping protocol was done using R-motion Results: A significant reduction was found between preoperative VAS score and the VAS score over time. As per the type of sealer, a significant difference in VAS score was found at 24 h for Bio-C, at 72 h for AHPBC, and at 7 days for K-sealer and TFBC. A significant correlation was observed between the percussion test and the type of sealer, with the best improvement for TFBC. No statistically significant differences were found between the extrusion status and the percussion diagnostic. Conclusion: Despite the type of the sealer used, pain will decrease within time. Bio-C sealer was the fastest sealer in reducing POP, followed by AHPBC, K-sealer, and TFBC. There is a statistical difference in the percussion test between preoperatively and after 7 days with all the sealers, but the best improvement was visible with TFBC. Unintentional sealer extrusion did not affect the POP.
