Persistent Idiopathic Dentoalveolar Pain in a Patient With Implant Placement: 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. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Persistent idiopathic dentoalveolar pain (PIDAP) is a type of disease that, despite affecting thousands of people globally, negatively impacts patients' quality of life because of its unknown cause. Notably, the disease has a high prevalence rate and is primarily prone to middle-aged and senior individuals. Efforts have been made to gain the understanding needed for the accurate diagnosis and prompt treatment of PIDAP cases. This case report discusses the challenges faced in diagnosing and managing PIDAP after dental implants. The present study involved the case of a 62-year-old male patient, previously operated on for an implant at position #11, who suffered from chronic pain but no specific cause could be identified. We used an evaluation strategy to gain insights into the patient's illness, including antibiotic treatment, crown replacement, and continued pain. We prescribed nortriptyline 10 mg, and there was an improvement. This finding suggests that nortriptyline 10 mg QHS eliminates chronic pain.
