Incidence of Postoperative Flare-Up After Single-Visit and Multi-visit Endodontic Therapy.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
This article presents results obtained from a survey, including patients who underwent endodontic treatment by the single-visit or multi-visit method, after confirmation of the diagnosis of chronic apical periodontitis.
objectiveThe aim of the survey was to obtain data from the studied patients on the frequency and the type of postoperative pain after treatment of chronic apical periodontitis, as well as whether there is a relation between gender, age, and postoperative pain. MATERIALS AND
methodsA visual analog scale was used to study the intensity of postoperative pain in the treatment of teeth diagnosed with CPP, which are treated by one of two methods - single-visit or multi-visit method. The total number of surveyed patients is 71. The patients were examined and treated at the Dental Clinic "Imperial" in Varna, Bulgaria, in 2020. Thirty-one of them were treated by the single-visit method, and the remaining 40 by the multi-visit method with placement of a temporary dressing or sterile swab.
resultsA relatively large proportion (70%) of patients reported mild pain immediately after the root canal filling. A relatively large proportion (90.3%) of patients did not report pain one week after the root canal filling. The more frequent symptoms were observed in cases treated by the multi-visit method, after the application of a temporary dressing. Patients who reported taking analgesics were treated in the multi-visit method. More frequent pain symptoms with both methods of treatment were observed in men aged 36-60 years.
conclusionAlthough exacerbation has been shown to have no significant effect on the outcome of endodontic treatment, it is highly undesirable. In the short term, the postoperative pain in patients treated by the multi-visit method through the use of intracanal medication is more pronounced. Patients receiving the single-visit treatment reported less postoperative pain.
