Determination of Anesthetic Efficacy of Lidocaine Versus Bupivacaine in Single Visit Root Canal Treatment.
Trial report in European endodontic journal, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Objective: To compare the anesthetic efficacy of 2% Lidocaine with 1:80,000 epinephrine and 0.5% Bupivacaine with 1:200,000 epinephrine in one-visit root canal treatment in patients with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis. Methods: A total of 60 patients presenting with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis with normal periapical tissues on periapical radiography of mandibular 1 Results: The average age of the patients was 34.15±9.49 years, in which 32 (53.3%) were male and 28 (46.7%) were female. The anesthetic efficacy was significantly high in bupivacaine as compared to lidocaine local anesthesia group (76.7% versus 40%; P=0.004). Conclusion: The administration of bupivacaine anesthetic agent for inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) injections can be a better and appropriate pain management aid as compared to lidocaine during root canal treatment of patient with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis.
