1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), as the most commonly used irrigant solution, offers strong antibacterial and organic tissue dissolving properties and has the potential to express a strong corrosive effect. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of NaOCl on corrosion behavior and cyclic fatigue in five different types of NiTi rotary endodontic instruments. The study examined: ProTaper Universal, ProTaper Next, Twisted File, HyFlex CM, and BioRace, each with 24 samples. Each group was divided into a control subgroup and a subgroup exposed to electrochemical testing of corrosion in 5.25% NaOCl. All instruments were exposed to a cyclic fatigue test in artificial canals with a curvature angle of 60 degrees and radius of 2 mm. The corrosion potential of NaOCl was determined in all groups of instruments. ProTaper Universal had a significantly lower corrosion resistance than ProTaper Next (
