Effectiveness of Lidocaine versus Lidocaine with Magnesium Sulphate During Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block in Patients with Symptomatic Irreversible Pulpitis: A Randomised Double-Blinded Clinical Trial.
Trial report in European endodontic journal, 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
objectiveThis study aimed to compare the effectiveness of lidocaine with magnesium sulphate in patients undergoing root canal treatment following irreversible pulpitis.
methodsA total of 86 patients were randomised to receive 1.8 ml of 2% lidocaine replaced with 0.2 ml of 10% magnesium sulphate with 1: 80,000 epinephrine (n=43) as MGS group and 1.8 ml of 2% lidocaine with 1: 80,000 epinephrine (n=43) as LDC group. Preoperative visual analogue scale (VAS) pain scores were record-ed. Patients were instructed to report any perioperative pain felt during the access cavity preparation and when introducing the first patency file (#10 k) in the root canal and perioperative VAS recorded.
resultsThe success rate of the inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) was higher in the MSG group. The mean+-SD of perioperative pain was 0.16+-0.37 in the MSG group and 3.13+-0.77 in the LDC group. The MGS group produced better anaesthetic efficacy with a p-value of 0.01.
conclusionBased on the results, adding 10% magnesium sulphate to 2% lidocaine increased the effective-ness of IANB in patients with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis of mandibular molar teeth.
