A comparative evaluation of apical sealing ability of NeoPutty, Biodentine, and Bio-c repair using a radioactive isotope method - An

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: Treatment of teeth with immature apices is difficult to manage by conventional endodontics. Apical barrier formation using bioceramic materials offers a biologically favorable solution, providing a hermetic seal that supports periapical healing and facilitates successful root canal treatment. Aim: The aim is to evaluate and compare the sealing ability of NeoPutty, Biodentine, and Bio-C repair used as apical plugs in teeth with immature apex using radioactive isotopes. Methods: Sixty-nine extracted single-rooted human teeth were decoronated at the CEJ, leaving a root segment of 15 mm. Further, 3 mm of the apex was resected. Standardizing 12 mm root length, biomechanical preparation was carried out, and a divergent retrograde preparation using a NeoEndo orifice opener (30/08) was done to simulate an immature root apex. Samples were randomly distributed into 3 experimental groups ( Statistical Analysis: Data normality was assessed using the Shapiro-Wilk test, which showed a nonnormal distribution. Therefore, nonparametric tests were applied: Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA for intergroup comparisons and Mann-Whitney Results: The highest percentage of radioactivity was observed in Group 5: 71%, followed by Group 2: 55%, Group 3: 53%, Group 1: 48%, and Group 4: 4%. Conclusion: Neoputty exhibited the best apical sealing ability.
