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
Context: Hermetic seal between gutta-percha and dentin is created by endodontic sealers. Sonic or ultrasonic activation (UA) of sealers may improve their penetration into tubules and strength, which could be evaluated by testing the bond at dentine-obturation interface. Aims: To compare and evaluate the effect of ultrasonic and sonic activation on push-out bond strength of three different endodontic sealers, namely AH Plus, MTA Fillapex, and Endosequence BC. Settings and Design: An experimental Methodology: Ninety extracted human premolars were decoronated to 16 mm and instrumented with ProTaper Gold to size F3. Samples were grouped based on three sealers - AH Plus, MTA Fillapex, and Endosequence BC Sealer and further subdivided by ultrasonic, sonic, and no activation of sealers followed by lateral compaction obturation. Filled roots were sliced into 2 mm discs from each third. A Universal Testing Machine was used to measure pushout bond strength (POBS). Statistical Analysis Used: Kruskal-Wallis analysis of variance/One-way ANNOVA; and Results: Ultrasonic and sonic activation enhanced bond strength, significantly in the AH Plus and MTA Fillapex groups, with the coronal third showing greatest improvements. AH Plus consistently demonstrated superior bond strength, followed by Endosequence BC, and finally MTA Fillapex. No significant change in bond strength of Endosequence BC post activation. Conclusions: Among the tested materials, AH Plus demonstrated the greatest bond strength, with UA notably enhancing coronal bonding, while activation showed minimal impact in the apical third across all sealers.
