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: Root canal irrigants can alter root canal dentin and influence sealer adhesion. With increasing use of bioceramic sealers, understanding the effects of irrigants on bonding is essential for endodontic success. This in vitro study evaluated the effects of 1% chlorhexidine (CHX), 10% citric acid (CA), and their combination (CACHX) on the push-out bond strength (POBS) of AH Plus and BioRoot RCS to root canal dentin. Methods: Eighty single-rooted premolars with a single canal were selected and divided into eight groups ( Results: The final irrigant significantly affected bond strength ( Conclusion: In this in vitro study, root canal irrigants significantly influenced sealer bond strength. AH Plus exhibited the highest bond strength with CHX, whereas BioRoot RCS performed best with CA. The combination of CA and CHX did not adversely affect AH Plus and may be considered a suitable irrigant protocol for this sealer.
