Comparative Evaluation of Clinical Instrumentation Time and Quality of Obturation of Two Different Pedo Rotary File Systems in Primary Mandibular Molars: An
Article in International journal of clinical pediatric dentistry, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Introduction: The preferred treatment for primary teeth that are necrotic has been pulpectomy. Despite being the gold standard for years, using hand files can be difficult because of the longer chairside periods. Technology advancements have made it possible to reduce the need for manual dexterity and enhance pulpectomy care. Pediatric rotary files are now available specifically for use with primary teeth. This study's goal was to assess and contrast the instrumentation time and obturation quality of manual H files and pediatric rotary file systems (Prime Pedo™ and DXL-Pro™ rotary file systems) in primary mandibular molars. Materials and methods: A total of 51 deciduous mandibular molars that were evenly distributed for instrumentation were subjected to pulpectomy. Group I included the Prime Pedo™ rotary file system, group II included the DXL-Pro™ rotary file system, and group III included manual H files. A stopwatch was used to record the instrumentation time, and a postoperative radiograph was used to record the obturation quality. Results: When comparing pediatric rotary file systems to manual H files, there was a statistically significant reduction in instrumentation time ( Conclusion: In all three file groups, the quality of obturation produced results that were comparable. On the other hand, a significant difference was observed in the instrumentation time between rotary and manual instrumentation for deciduous teeth.
