Comparative Evaluation of Different Modes of Laser Assisted Endodontics in Primary Teeth: An In vitro Study.
Article in Journal of clinical and diagnostic research : JCDR, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
introductionThe presence of bacteria in root canals has been considered to be responsible for endodontic treatment failure, even in case of primary teeth. The use of lasers can be a valuable addition in removing bacterial load in areas where traditional methods may fail to succeed. Methods like direct laser irradiation of canals, Laser Activated Irrigation (LAI) with sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) seem to be a promising alternative for disinfection.
aimThis study was designed to compare the efficacy of latest advancements in disinfection techniques using diode laser namely direct laser irradiation, photodynamic therapy and laser activated irrigation using sodium hypochlorite. MATERIALS AND
methodsSixty freshly extracted primary teeth either single or multi-rooted teeth with two third of their root length intact were collected. Instrumentation was completed to size 30 H-file. Teeth were randomly divided into Group 1- Direct Laser- irradiation, Group 2 - Photodynamic therapy; Group 3- Laser activated irrigation with 2.5% NaOCl. The tooth specimens were inoculated with
resultsThe results obtained with all the three groups postoperatively were highly significant (p-value<0.001). Statistically significant difference between results of Group 1 and Group 2 and also between Group 1 and Group 3 was found (p-value≤ 0.001). However, no statistical difference between Group 2 and Group 3 was found (p-value- 0.96).
conclusionDisinfection strategies using diode laser by techniques gives promising results. Techniques like laser activated irrigation and photoactivated disinfection are better than direct laser irradiation in eliminating
