Clinical outcomes of a novel flowable calcium silicate cement in equine endodontic treatment.
Article in Equine veterinary journal, 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
backgroundOrthograde endodontic treatment of equine cheek teeth is performed infrequently with variable success rates of obturation with calcium hydroxide paste (CHP). A novel flowable calcium silicate cement (eCSC) formulated for use as an obturation material in equine teeth has demonstrated acceptable canal filling volumes and evidence of dentinal tubule penetration. However, clinical outcomes of eCSC-obturated equine teeth have not been reported.
objectivesTo report the clinical outcomes of orthograde endodontic treatment using eCSC. STUDY
designRetrospective case series.
methodsHorses that underwent orthograde endodontic treatment using eCSC at a single referral centre between October 2020 and March 2026 and had ≥12 months follow-up were included in the study.
resultsSeven horses, with endodontic treatments on six cheek teeth and one incisor were included. The success rate of eCSC was 6 of 7 cases, with up to 5.5 years of follow-up. One eCSC case demonstrated healing of a draining tract to the paranasal sinus on CT and histologically showed no evidence of periapical infection or inflammation 16 months after treatment. The singular failed eCSC-treated tooth demonstrated incomplete cleaning and obturation of one pulp canal on histological examination. MAIN LIMITATIONS: Small case numbers, heterogeneous follow-up, and a single operator limit the generalisability of these findings.
conclusionsOrthograde endodontic treatment of equine teeth using eCSC can result in long-term clinical success. CT and histopathological findings available for one case support biological healing in successfully treated eCSC cases. A prospective, multi-centre study with standardised follow-up is warranted to establish the predictability and indications of eCSC as an obturation material for equine endodontics.
