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 effectiveness of an adjunctive SAF Infinitum procedure performed under continuous chelation was evaluated for reducing hard-tissue debris (HTD) after single-file root canal preparation. Thirty mandibular incisors with flattened canals were pair-matched and prepared using Reciproc Blue R25 or XP-endo Rise Shaper under irrigation with 2.5% sodium hypochlorite combined with etidronic acid. Micro-computed tomography scans were obtained at baseline, after preparation and after supplementary SAF instrumentation for 2 min under continuous NaOCl/HEDP delivery. Canal volume, surface area, HTD volume and percentage reduction were quantified. Baseline morphology and post-preparation HTD did not differ between groups. The adjunctive SAF procedure significantly reduced HTD in both groups. Final residual HTD volumes after SAF use were comparable between preparation protocols, although the percentage reduction was greater after Reciproc Blue preparation. Adjunctive SAF Infinitum with continuous chelation enhanced debris removal in flattened canals irrespective of the initial shaping system.
