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
Aim: To compare and evaluate the sealing ability of four retrograde filling materials-Biodentine, EndoSequence Bioceramic Root Repair Material (BC-RRM) fast set putty, Bio-C Repair, and Nishika Canal Sealer BG (NBG)-using dye penetration and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). Materials and Methods: Sixty extracted human maxillary central incisors were decoronated and instrumented apically to a size #40 K-file and the rest of the canal till a N0.60 K file using the step-back technique with irrigants 3% NaOCl, 17% EDTA, and saline. After obturation with AH Plus sealer and gutta-percha by lateral condensation, 3 mm of the root apex was resected, and retrograde cavities were prepared using ultrasonic tips. The specimens were divided into four groups (n = 15) according to the retrograde filling material used: G1: Biodentine, G2: EndoSequence BC-RRM fast set putty, G3: Bio-C Repair, and G4: Nishika Canal Sealer BG (NBG). All samples were immersed in 0.5% Rhodamine B dye for 24 h, sectioned longitudinally, and examined under CLSM. Data was analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U-tests. Results: Biodentine exhibited the highest mean microleakage value (279.076 ± 27.761), followed by EndoSequence BC-RRM fast set putty (269.701 ± 34.381) and Bio-C Repair (175.097 ± 16.958). Nishika Canal Sealer BG (NBG) exhibited the lowest mean microleakage (142.705 ± 20.235) with a P = 0.00. Conclusion: All tested retrograde filling materials exhibited microleakage. NBG demonstrated the least microleakage, followed by Bio-C repair, EndoSequence BC-RRM fast set putty and Biodentine.
