Evaluation of Voids in Endodontic Treatment via Different Obturation Techniques Using CT: A Comparative Study.
Article in Journal of pharmacy & bioallied sciences, 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
Objective: This study evaluates the prevalence and distribution of voids in root canal obturations performed using different obturation techniques, assessed through computed tomography (CT). Methods: A total of 60 extracted human teeth were divided into three groups (n = 20) based on the obturation technique: lateral compaction, continuous wave of condensation, and thermoplasticized injectable gutta-percha. CT scans were analyzed for void presence and distribution at the coronal, middle, and apical thirds of the root canal. Results: The continuous wave technique showed the least void occurrence, with statistically significant differences compared to lateral compaction. Thermoplasticized injectable techniques had better results than lateral compaction but were inferior to continuous wave techniques. Voids were most commonly observed in the apical third of all groups. Conclusion: The continuous wave of condensation is superior in minimizing void formation in root canal obturation, suggesting its potential as a preferred technique.
