Analysis of microgap for root canal filling material filled with a hydrophilic and hydrophobic obturating system.
Article in Bioinformation, 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
The microgap formation associated with hydrophilic and hydrophobic root canal obturation systems is of interest. Hence, thirty extracted human single-rooted teeth were randomly divided into two groups (n=15 each): Group I - obturated (Resilon with Epiphany sealer) and Group II - obturated hydrophobic system (Gutta-percha with AH Plus sealer). After obturation, the samples and microgaps were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) at 2000x magnification. Group I (hydrophilic) showed a significantly lower mean microgap of 2.36 ± 0.52 µm, while Group II (hydrophobic) exhibited a higher mean microgap of 5.81 ± 0.89 µm. Thus, hydrophilic obturation systems showed superior sealing ability with minimal microgap formation compared to hydrophobic systems.
