Effect of F18 Bioactive Glass-Treated Gutta-Percha on Interaction with Endodontic Sealers.

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
This study evaluated the effect of F18 bioactive glass applied to gutta-percha by dip-coating or incorporation on surface bioactivity and bond strength to Bio-C Sealer (BCS) and AH Plus (AHP). Gutta-percha discs (n = 3 per group) were dip-coated with F18 bioactive glass at 2.5%, 5%, and 10% by weight and analyzed by SEM and EDS before and after 28 days of immersion in PBS. Uncoated gutta-percha served as the control for analyses. For the tensile bond strength test, twelve specimens per group (n = 12) were prepared using unmodified gutta-percha, 5% F18 dip-coated gutta-percha, or 2% F18-incorporated gutta-percha, each tested with BCS and AHP. Unmodified gutta-percha with each sealer served as the control. Bond strength was measured using a universal testing machine and analyzed by two-way ANOVA and Tukey's test (α = 0.05). After PBS immersion, the 5% and 10% dip-coated groups exhibited more pronounced F18 deposition and the formation of continuous bioactive surface layers, whereas the control group showed no such features. Regarding bond strength, the 5% F18 dip-coated gutta-percha showed higher values with BCS compared to the control (p < 0.05), and the 2% F18-incorporated gutta-percha also increased bond strength to BCS versus the control (p < 0.05). For AHP, 5% dip-coating reduced bond strength compared with the control (p < 0.05), whereas 2% incorporation did not differ (p > 0.05). F18 bioactive glass promoted surface mineralization of gutta-percha and improved its bond strength to Bio-C Sealer, whether applied by dip-coating or incorporation.
