1 · What the graph read from it

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.

Abstract

Introduction: After treating the tooth root canal, pain is one of the problems that many patients are facing. In order to reduce pain, and regarding the advice of treating necrotic teeth during several sessions, intra-canal medicaments can be used between sessions. The purpose of this study is to compare pain relieving effect of calcium hydroxide combined with three solutions of normal saline, chlorhexidine 2% and dexamethasone. Materials and methods: This triple blind randomized clinical trial was performed on 90 necrotic molars and premolars. The patients were classified in three medicaments' groups including mixture of calcium hydroxide and normal saline (G1), chlorhexidine 2% (G2) or dexamethasone (G3) that were placed in the canal during the first treatment session. The patients were provided with a Heft-Parker Visual Analog Scale form to record their pain in different intervals of 4, 24, 48, 72 and 96 h after cleaning and shaping the root canal. Data analysis was carried out using the Chi-Square, one-way ANOVA and Repeated Measure tests. Results: No significant difference was observed in the mean pain of the groups after 4 h ( Conclusion: The mixture of calcium hydroxide and dexamethasone compared to calcium hydroxide and normal saline in short and medium time had a significant effect on reducing pain after cleaning and shaping the root canal. It seems that the mixture of calcium hydroxide and dexamethasone can be considered as an effective medicament on reducing pain during root canal treatment sessions.
