Postoperative pain after endodontic treatment of necrotic teeth submitted to large apical preparation using oscillatory kinematics.
Article in Journal of clinical and experimental dentistry, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundRegardless of the technique applied for chemomechanical preparation, postoperative pain is a very relevant matter in endodontics. Objective: To evaluate postoperative pain after endodontic treatment of necrotic teeth submitted to large apical preparation (LAP) using oscillatory kinematics. MATERIAL AND
methodsThe sample included 60 asymptomatic necrotic teeth with or without apical radiolucency, and with normal periodontal status, referred for endodontic treatment. Following initial procedures, the position and approximate size of the apical constriction were determined by using an apex locator and K Flexofiles, respectively. The chemomechanical preparation was conducted using oscillatory kinematics and 2.5ml of 2.5% NaOCl at each file change to achieve LAP, and the filling was done with Tagger's hybrid technique and EndoFill sealer. Phone calls were made to all the patients at 24, 48 and 72 hours after treatment to request their classification of postoperative pain, and data were submitted to statistical analysis.
resultsOnly 3 patients (5%) reported severe pain after 72 hours. Moderate pain was reported by 17, 9 and 1 patient after 24, 48 and 72 hours, respectively (
conclusionsAcute or moderate postoperative pain was uncommon after endodontic treatment of necrotic teeth submitted to LAP using oscillatory kinematics.
