Supplementary use of the XP-endo Finisher on postoperative pain in posterior teeth with periapical lesions: a randomized clinical trial.
Trial report in Clinical oral investigations, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveThis study evaluated the effect of the supplementary use of the XP-endo Finisher on postoperative endodontic pain.
methodsThis study was a randomized clinical trial with a parallel design. Ninety-two posterior teeth with necrotic pulps and apical periodontitis were instrumented with a single file (Reciproc) in a reciprocating movement followed or not (control) by additional instrumentation with XP-endo Finisher. Postoperative pain was assessed 24 h, 48 h, 72 h, and 7 days after the endodontic treatment (single session) using a universal pain assessment tool. The pain level was scored as absent, mild, moderate, or severe. The occurrence of sealer extrusion and flare-up was also recorded. Data on postoperative pain were analyzed through chi-square analysis, and the odds ratio was adjusted using a logistic regression model (α = 0.05).
resultsSimilar levels and risks of postoperative pain were observed for both interventions, regardless of the assessment time. Approximately half of the participants presented any postoperative pain in the first 24 h after the endodontic treatment, and this occurrence reduced by less than 20% after 72 h. The extrusion of root filling material was observed in 36% of cases, and no participant presented flared-up.
conclusionsThe supplementary use of the XP-endo Finisher file did not affect the incidence or level of postoperative pain reported after the endodontic treatment of posterior teeth with periapical lesions. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The supplementary use of the XP-endo Finisher did not affect postoperative pain following the endodontic treatment of posterior teeth using a single-file reciprocating system.
