Comparative Sealing Ability of Different Materials for Repair of Iatrogenic Perforations: An In Vitro Study.
Article in International journal of dentistry, 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
Objective: The aim of this in vitro study was to assess and compare the sealing ability of root perforation repair materials: Biodentin, mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), glass ionomer cement (GIC), and amalgam in extracted human teeth, using stereomicroscope. Material and Methods: For this in vitro study were tested 50 extracted mandibular molars with artificial perforations and were randomly divided into four experimental groups ( Results: The samples repaired with Biodentin demonstrated the lowest mean dye leakage, followed by MTA group, amalgam, and GIC group. Statistical analysis showed significant differences among tested groups ( Conclusions: The findings of this in vitro study under the tested conditions showed that Biodentin and MTA provided better sealing ability in root perforation repair. Amalgam showed intermediate performance, while GIC showed the highest level of micro leakage.
