How should clinicians assess acute dental pain?: A review.
Review in Medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06510244 (Measuring Pain Perception to the Same Stimulus in Different Patients Using Electroencephalography and Numerical Rate Scale), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
Pain is the most common complaint in the dental field and may have a significant impact on the patients' quality of life. However, objective pain assessment is sometimes difficult, and medical and dental clinicians may encounter cases of pain in the head and neck region, making it difficult to establish differential diagnoses. This study aimed to review acute pain in clinical dentistry at each phase of dental procedures and discuss the current status and issues in the development of acute dental pain assessment methods in the future. Acute pain in clinical dentistry may differ in nature and modifying conditions of pain at each stage: before dental procedures, while visiting dentists, and during and after dental procedures. They are related to actual or potential tissue damage, and may be modified and aided by personal experiences, including psychological and social factors. With respect to the aging and multinational population and pandemic of infectious diseases, significant breakthroughs in the development of new pain scales without verbal descriptions are desirable. Furthermore, it is expected that a new pain scale that can be applied to acute pain in the head and neck regions, including the oral cavity, will be developed.
