Diode Laser-Assisted Pulp Polyp Excision and Canal Disinfection in a Primary Molar: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
This case report presents the successful application of diode laser technology in the management of a pulp polyp in a primary molar, showcasing its efficacy in both excision of the proliferative tissue and subsequent canal disinfection. An eight-year-old patient with a symptomatic primary molar exhibiting a pulp polyp was selected for this intervention. The diode laser, with its specific wavelength and precise tissue interaction, allowed for a minimally invasive and efficient removal of the pulp polyp. Additionally, the laser was utilized for thorough disinfection of the root canals, targeting bacterial pathogens while preserving surrounding healthy tissue. The case was monitored over a three-month follow-up period, demonstrating favorable clinical and radiographic outcomes. This report emphasizes the potential of diode laser technology as a feasible adjunct in the treatment of pulp polyps in primary molars, showcasing its benefits in terms of reduced invasiveness, enhanced precision, and effective canal disinfection in pediatric endodontics.
