Incidence of Postoperative Pain after Single Visit Root Canal Treatment using XP-endo Shaper, 2Shape and ProTaper Gold Rotary Systems: A Prospective Randomized Clinical Trial.
Trial report in European endodontic journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectiveTo evaluate the incidence of postoperative pain, treatment time and analgesic intake after single visit endodontic treatment of mandibular molars using XP-endo Shaper, 2Shape and ProTaper Gold rotary systems.
methods150 patients with irreversible pulpitis were scheduled for single visit root canal treatment. Teeth were randomly assigned to one of the three groups: ProTaper Gold (PTG; Dentsply Tulsa Dental Specialties, Johnson City, TN), 2Shape (2S; Micro-Mega, Besancon, Cedex, France) and XP-endo Shaper (XPES; FKG Dentaire, La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland). Preoperative and postoperative pain was rated by the patients at the beginning of treatment and after 24, 48, 72 hours and 7 days on Heft Parker's visual analog scale (HP-VAS).
resultsHighest mean postoperative pain score was recorded in PTG (P<0.05), followed by 2S and XPES respectively at all time intervals. XPES exhibited maximum reduction from preoperative pain at 24 (48.67%) and 48 hours (96.90 %) with no pain at 72 hours. Treatment time was significantly least in XPES (P<0.05) followed by 2S and PTG; but no significant difference in analgesic intake was noted.
conclusionXPES exhibited least postoperative pain at all time intervals and treatment time, followed by 2S and PTG rotary systems respectively. (EEJ-2022-04-053).
