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
Bioceramic sealers have gained widespread acceptance in contemporary endodontics due to their favorable biological properties, dimensional stability, and bioactivity. However, their strong adhesion to dentinal walls and penetration into dentinal tubules may complicate removal during endodontic retreatment procedures. Additionally, the obturation technique may influence both the retreatability of root canal filling materials and the bond strength of sealers and resins to radicular dentin.
methodsOne hundred extracted human single-rooted teeth were instrumented using the WaveOne Gold system and obturated with a bioceramic sealer using two techniques: single-cone (Group A,
resultsNo statistically significant differences were observed between the groups regarding the working time required for root filling removal (
conclusionsWithin the limitations of this in vitro study, the warm vertical compaction technique demonstrated superior bonding performance and resulted in less residual bioceramic sealer after retreatment compared with the single-cone technique.
