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 aimed to compare the physical and chemical properties of TheraBase, a newly introduced resin-based calcium silicate cement, with TheraCal LC, Biodentine, and Bio MTA+ under in vitro conditions. Disc-shaped specimens were prepared from each material. Compressive strength was tested using a universal testing machine, radiopacity was assessed through digital radiographic analysis, and water sorption and solubility were determined based on weight changes after immersion. pH and calcium ion release were measured at multiple time points. Data were analyzed using ANOVA and post hoc tests (p < 0.05). TheraBase exhibited the highest compressive strength, whereas Bio MTA+ showed the lowest values. Biodentine showed the highest solubility, whereas TheraCal LC had the lowest. TheraBase presented the lowest values for water sorption, pH, and calcium ion release (p < 0.05). TheraBase demonstrated favorable properties, including high compressive strength, low solubility, and adequate radiopacity, suggesting its potential for clinical use in pulp capping. However, its low calcium ion release may limit its regenerative potential.
