1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Aim: To evaluate the quantification of Materials and methods: Fifty refractory endodontic cases were randomly allocated into five experimental groups according to the irrigant and activation method used: Group I, saline irrigation; Group II, 5.25% sodium hypochlorite with Passive ultrasonic irrigation; Group III, 5.25% sodium hypochlorite with EndoActivator; Group IV, 2% chlorhexidine with Passive ultrasonic irrigation; and Group V, 2% chlorhexidine with EndoActivator. Microbiological samples were collected before and after disinfection using sterile paper points. Quantification of Results: Post-treatment bacterial counts were significantly lower in all experimental groups than in the saline control ( Conclusion: 5.25% NaOCl activated by Passive ultrasonic irrigation achieved the greatest reduction in Clinical significance: Passive ultrasonic activation of sodium hypochlorite may enhance root canal disinfection by significantly reducing
