Effect of painless STA on tooth extraction of elderly patients with periodontal diseases.
Article in Experimental and therapeutic medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
This study compared the effects of tooth extractions under novel painless single tooth anesthesia (STA) and conventional anesthesia on elderly patients with periodontal diseases, and the impact of painless STA on clinical indicators of the patients. Elderly patients (n=116) with periodontal diseases who were treated in Jinan Central Hospital were selected to undergo extraction operation on loose teeth; all the patients were randomly divided into two groups. The tooth extraction operations were performed after painless STA and cartridge anesthesia; the effects of the tooth extraction operations and the operation time were recorded; Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Kuttner facial expression scale, Frankl treatment compliance scale and Houpt behavior rating scale were utilized to assess and record the clinical indicators of the patients during the operations; the impacts of the two anesthesia techniques on the effect of the tooth extraction of patients with periodontal diseases were comprehensively analyzed. Compared with conventional cartridge anesthesia, painless STA could effectively shorten the operation time (P<0.01); the Frankl treatment compliance score and Houpt behavior rating score of patients receiving painless STA were remarkably higher than those of patients receiving conventional cartridge anesthesia (P<0.01); during the operation, painless STA could effectively reduce the blood pressure and slow the heart rate by comparing with cartridge anesthesia (P<0.01, P<0.05); the scores of STA and Kuttner facial expressions in patients receiving painless STA were significantly lower than those in patients receiving conventional cartridge anesthesia (P<0.01); after the operation, the incidence of adverse reactions, such as pain and swelling, in patients receiving painless STA was obviously decreased compared with that in patients receiving conventional cartridge anesthesia (P<0.01). The novel painless STA can notably shorten the time of tooth extraction of elderly patients with periodontal diseases, reduce postoperative pain and swelling, increase the compliance of the operation, alleviate the impact of tooth extraction operation on the clinical indicators of the patients and relieve the pain of patients caused by the operation.
