Comparative Evaluation of Pushout Bond Strength of AH Plus Sealer After Using Two Gutta-Percha Solvents with and Without Ultrasonic Activation Following Endodontic Retreatment: An
Article in Journal of pharmacy & bioallied sciences, 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: An endodontic sealer creates a hermetic seal between the canal wall and core filling material which prevents regrowth of microorganism or apical or coronal leakage leading to reinfection. The most relevant prognostic factor for evaluation of the link between the sealer to the canal wall and the core material is push-out bond strength and it is considered an important property since it creates a fluid tight seal. It also provides resistance against dislocation of the root filling during tooth flexure and operative procedures. Materials and Methods: The materials used in the study are AH Plus sealer, Endosolv R, and Xylene. 90 mandibular premolars are obturated using an AH plus root canal sealer and retreatment is carried out using gutta percha solvents Endosolv R and Xylene. Specimens are grouped based on the used solvents and each group is subdivided based on irrigant activation technique. A 3-mm section of apical third is taken from the re-obturated specimens and push out bond strength is analyzed with universal testing machine. Results: Analyzing the pushout bond strength of AH plus sealer after retreatment with 2 gutta percha solvents, it is found that AH Plus sealer has got highest pushout bond strength after using Endosolv R with ultrasonic irrigant activation. Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study, it can be concluded that after 5 minutes, Endosolv-R was significantly more effective short-term gutta percha softener than xylene for the tested sealer-AH plus.
