Postoperative Pain After the use of Sodium Hypochlorite gel and Solution Forms: A Randomized Clinical Study.
Article in European endodontic journal, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
objectiveThe present study aimed to compare the effect of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) gel and solution forms on postoperative pain level.
methodsFifty-two patients were divided into two groups according to the root canal irrigation solution. In the NaOCl solution group, the root canals were irrigated with 2 mL of 5.25% NaOCl between each pecking motion. In the NaOCl gel group, 5.25% NaOCl gel was used according to the manufacturer's instructions. The root canal treatments were completed and the participants were given instructions to record postoperative pain levels on 24, 48, and 72 hours and 1 week after treatment using VAS.
resultsIntergroup analyses revealed that the NaOCl gel group resulted in significantly less postoperative pain than the NaOCl solution group on day 1.
conclusionIt can be concluded that using NaOCl gel during root canal preparation results in less postoperative on day 1 when compared with the NaOCl solution.
