Cyclic fatigue resistance in NiTi files by four different sterilization methods.
Article in Bioinformation, 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
The cyclic fatigue resistance of Pedoflex NiTi files that have been expose to four sterilization techniques. Hence, a total of fifty Pedoflex NiTi rotary instruments were selected at random and were assigned to five groups according to the type of the sterilization method used and five sterilization cycles carried out in each group. After the sterilization procedure, the evaluation of all files under cyclic fatigue resistance was done on a simulated curved canal model up to fracture. It was discovered that nickel-titanium alloy was very susceptible to thermal and mechanical stresses. Autoclave sterilization with the help of thermal treatment improved the crystallographic arrangement of the alloy and led to greater flexibility. The repeated cycles do not significantly reduce fatigue life and that autoclaving may even enhance cyclic fatigue resistance, thereby supporting evidence based decisions on safe reuse of heat treated pediatric NiTi instruments in high volume clinical settings.
