Determination of Optimal Separation Times for Dual-Pulse SWEEPS Laser-Assisted Irrigation in Different Endodontic Access Cavities.
Article in Lasers in surgery and medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesThe purpose of this ex vivo study is to investigate whether it is possible to pre-determine and set the optimal separation times for the SWEEPS Er:YAG laser pulses pair during laser-assisted irrigation of endodontic root canals based on known lateral dimensions of the endodontic access cavities of different types of teeth. STUDY DESIGN/MATERIALS AND
methodsAs the optimal SWEEPS laser pulse pair separation for enhanced shockwave generation depends on the life-cycle of a single-pulse bubble, measurements of the oscillation time T
resultsA good fit to the relation analogue for ideal cylindrical cavities was found by taking the characteristic diameter of the access cavity to be represented by the cavity diameter either in the mesiodistal (D
conclusionIn spite of the endodontic cavities being non-cylindrical and of varied shape and size, the bubble oscillation time T
