Comparison of the Response to Pulpal Sensibility Tests in Well-Controlled and Uncontrolled Type II Diabetes Mellitus Patients: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in International journal of dentistry, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07549373 (Antibacterial Effect Of 940nm Diode Laser, Apple Cider Vinegar And Gymnema Sylvestre In Diabetic Patients With Apical Periodontitis Against Peptostreptococcus Species- A Randomized Clinical Trial), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
Introduction: Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder in which impairment of sensory fibers would be anticipated. The present study would assess the dental pulp response to cold and EPT sensibility tests in patients with type 2 diabetes, both well-controlled and uncontrolled. Materials and Methods: One hundred two maxillary central incisors, belonging to participants aged 35-67 years, were included in this survey. At last, 51 diabetic patients were allocated to each group of well-controlled (HbA1C < 7) and uncontrolled (HbA1C ≥ 7). Electric and cold pulpal vitality tests were conducted for all teeth. Statistical analysis was performed with Student's Results: Based on the results of this study, the mean value of response to EPT was 4.51 ± 2.06 and 4.41 ± 1.85 in well-controlled and uncontrolled diabetic patients, respectively. Also, the pulpal responses to cold and EPT tests had no significant differences between the two groups ( Conclusion: Tooth responses to the cold and EPT sensibility tests were not different in well-controlled and uncontrolled diabetic patients. Despite no statistically significant correlation, male diabetic patients in the uncontrolled group showed a lower sensory response threshold to EPT compared to a well-controlled group.
