Comparative Effectiveness of Triphala and Conventional Root Canal Irrigants in Primary Teeth: A Systematic Review.
Review in Cureus, 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 present systematic review aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of Triphala, a traditional Ayurvedic herbal formulation, as a root canal irrigant in primary teeth compared to conventional irrigants such as sodium hypochlorite, chlorhexidine, and saline. A comprehensive electronic search was conducted across multiple databases, including PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, and Cochrane Library, and supplemented by grey literature. Studies published in English between January 2000 and February 2025 were considered. Five studies met the inclusion criteria, comprising randomized controlled trials, in vitro, and ex vivo studies, all of which were conducted in India. The findings revealed that Triphala possesses significant antimicrobial activity against endodontic pathogens such as
