Physicochemical properties, bond strength, and antibiofilm activity of a powder-gel bioceramic endodontic sealer.

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
Physicochemical properties, bond strength, and antibiofilm activity of a powder-gel bioceramic endodontic sealer, Sealer Plus BC (SPBC, MK Life, Porto Alegre, RS, Brazil), were evaluated in comparison with Bio-C Sealer (BCS, Angelus, Londrina, PR, Brazil), a reference bioceramic sealer, and AH Plus Jet (AHP, Dentsply DeTrey, Konstanz, Germany), a standard resin-based sealer. The setting time, pH, solubility, flow, and radiopacity were evaluated in accordance with ISO 6876:2012 standards. Bond strength was measured using the Push-Out test. Antibiofilm activity against Enterococcus faecalis alone or in combination with Candida albicans was assessed using a modified direct contact test with the eluate of fresh sealer (25 mg/mL) and after 24 hours of material setting. The data were analyzed using ANOVA and Tukey statistical tests (α = 0.05). SPBC exhibited higher Setting Time values compared to BCS and lower values compared to AHP (p < 0.05). BCS and SPBC had higher solubility values than 3% (p<0.05). BCS demonstrated flow values higher than those of SPBC and AHP (p<0.05). SPBC showed lower radiopacity (p<0.05) and higher bond strength (p<0.05) than BCS and AHP. SPBC and BCS exhibited alkaline pH throughout all evaluated periods. They demonstrated antimicrobial activity against Enterococcus faecalis and/or Candida albicans in the eluate of fresh sealer and 24 hours after setting (p < 0.05). In conclusion, SPBC powder-gel sealer, as a filling material, meets most ISO 6876 standards for physicochemical properties, demonstrates bond strength to dentin, and exhibits antimicrobial activity against both dual and single-specimen biofilms. However, it has a solubility greater than 3%.
