Comparative evaluation of a bromelain-based endodontic irrigant versus sodium hypochlorite, chlorhexidine gluconate, and chitosan against
Article in Journal of conservative dentistry and endodontics, 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
Background: Endodontic therapy primarily depends on the effective elimination of microorganisms from the complex root canal system. Irrigating solutions play a crucial role in achieving this objective. To enhance antimicrobial efficacy within the root canal system, the combined use of irrigating agents with different mechanisms of action has been proposed as an effective strategy. Aim: The aim of the study is to determine the antibacterial efficacy of combining bromelain chitosan chlorhexidine (BCC) to create a novel endodontic irrigant. Subjects and Methods: Novel BCC irrigating solution was prepared at room temperature. 48 agar plates were divided into 6 groups; Sodium Hypochlorie (NaOCl), Novel bromelain chitosan chlorhexidine (BCC) irrigant, Normal saline, Chlorhexidine (CHX), Chitosan, Bromelain. Evaluation of antibacterial efficacy was done using direct contact inhibition test. Statistical analysis was performed using A one-way analysis of variance test for the direct contact inhibition test.(≤ 0.05). Results: A significant difference was determined ( Conclusions: The novel BCC irrigant is effective in preparing dentinal surfaces for root canal without adverse effects and promising longevity.
