Artemisinin as a novel endodontic irrigant:
Article in Journal of conservative dentistry and endodontics, 2026. 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
Context: Artemisinin is a sesquiterpene lactone extracted from Aims: To evaluate the Subjects and Methods: The antimicrobial activity was determined using the ditch plate method and the antioxidant capacity was evaluated using the total antioxidant assay with optical density measured at 695 nm, while FTIR spectroscopy analysis revealed the functional groups present in artemisinin extract. Results: Artemisinin exhibited significant inhibitory activity, against both the test microrganisms. The antioxidant analysis revealed a concentration-dependent increase in activity, with the highest effect at 10 mg/mL (2.08 mm/L). FTIR spectra showed multiple absorption bands corresponding to hydroxyl, phenolic, and aliphatic groups, indicating complex molecular characteristics. Conclusions: Artemisinin demonstrates dual antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, suggesting its potential as a safer, biologically compatible endodontic irrigant. To validate the
