Rheological Properties of Nine Commercially Available Endodontic Sealers by Substrate and Temperature: A Comparative In Vitro Study.
Article in Journal of functional biomaterials, 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
backgroundThis study aimed to investigate flow, contact angles and capillary penetration of commercially available endodontic sealers by substrate (human root dentin discs [HRD] and gutta-percha [GP]) and by temperature [room (20 °C), or body (37 °C)]. METHODOLOGY: Nine commercially available endodontic sealers were tested using the two-plate method, contact angle calculation (measured on HRD and GP surface-for both temperatures), free-flow, and penetration co-efficiency using a capillary permeability test (in 37 °C). Discs, set-ups and sealers were prepared according to the protocol; specimens were photographed; results were collected; and all recordings were statistically analyzed.
resultsThe chemical composition of each sealer significantly affected rheological properties even in the same chemical group (
conclusionsWithin the limitation of this study, it was verified that Endodontic sealers' rheological properties were affected by the substrate's composition and temperature. Additionally, body temperature significantly influenced thier performance.
