Antimicrobial efficacy of chitosan nanoparticles as intracanal medicament against
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. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Background: Persistence of microbes is the main cause for root canal failure. Nanoparticles such as chitosan can prevent reinfection as chemo-mechanical preparation cannot abolish all the microbes. Aim: To investigate the antimicrobial efficacy of chitosan nanoparticles when they were combined with calcium hydroxide (Ca[OH] Materials and Methods: One hundred and forty single-rooted teeth were collected and root canal treatment was done. Results: Chitosan nanoparticles samples exhibited fewer CFUs of all the experimental groups and Ca (OH) Conclusion: All the four medicaments showed significant reduction in the bacterial count. Chitosan nanoparticles exhibited greatest antimicrobial efficacy against
