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
Heat produced during thermoplasticized obturation negatively impacts root canal sealers, compromising their adhesion to dentin and ultimately affecting the integrity of the seal. Therefore, it is of interest to assess the push-out bond strength of zinc oxide eugenol sealer, bioceramic sealer and bioactive glass sealer following thermoplasticized gutta-percha obturation. Sixty single-rooted premolars were randomly divided into three groups and samples from the apical, middle and cervical thirds were evaluated using universal testing equipment. Hence, the bioactive glass sealer showed the greatest push-out bond strength, followed by the bioceramic sealer, whereas the zinc oxide eugenol sealer revealed the lowest values. In all three groups, the apical third consistently exhibited higher bond strength than the middle and cervical thirds. Thus, data shows the performance of traditional and contemporary sealers during heat-assisted obturation and support the potential benefits of bioactive components in enhancing sealer-dentin adhesion.
