Cleaning ability of two irrigating solutions in primary root canals.
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
Effective cleaning of primary root canals remains challenging due to complex anatomy and physiological root resorption, limiting the efficacy of mechanical instrumentation alone. Therefore, it is of interest to compare the cleaning ability of 1% sodium hypochlorite and normal saline as irrigating solutions in primary teeth. Forty extracted primary molars were randomly allocated into two groups (n = 20), instrumented using standardized techniques, and irrigated with either sodium hypochlorite or saline, followed by stereomicroscopic evaluation of residual debris in different canal thirds. The sodium hypochlorite group showed significantly lower debris scores at all levels, particularly in the apical third, compared to the saline group (p < 0.05). Thus, we show that 1% sodium hypochlorite provides superior cleaning efficacy and may be preferred for pulpectomy procedures in primary teeth.
