Use of 2Shape® File in Adaptive Kinematics Influences Post-operative Pain After Single Visit Endodontics in Symptomatic Irreversible Pulpitis: A Double-blinded, Randomized Clinical Trial.

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 double-blinded randomized clinical trial aimed to compare postoperative pain using 2Shape® (TS) in rotary (TSRot) and adaptive (TSAK) kinematics in the maxillary and mandibular molars in patients with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis and symptomatic apical periodontitis following single-visit endodontic treatment.
methodsSeventy patients were randomly assigned to two groups (TSRot /TSAK), (n=35 each). The preoperative and postoperative pain intensities at various time intervals up to 72h using a Visual-Analogue Scale was noted. Mann-Whitney U test (p<0.05*) was used to compare pain intensity, and the chi-square test was used to compare the incidence of pain. Dunns test (p<0.05*) was used for intragroup comparisons. Binary logistic regression was performed at consecutive time intervals.
resultsA total of 67 patients were included in the final analysis, and three were excluded due to medication intake. Both groups showed a gradual reduction in the mean incidence and intensity of postoperative pain from 6 to 72 hours. However, TSAK had a significantly lower intensity and incidence of pain than TSRot at 24h (p=0.02*). There was no statistically significant difference observed in the duration of instrumentation when the TS file was used in either adaptive or rotary kinematics (p=0.41).
conclusionAdaptive kinematics (TSAK) resulted in less pain incidence compared with rotary kinematics (TS-Rot). A statistically significant difference in incidence was observed at 24 h but may not be clinically significant. The duration of instrumentation was similar between the TSRot and TSAK groups. Thus, the 2Shape® (TS) file, which is a rotary file, can be used in adaptive kinematics to reduce the postoperative pain. (EEJ-2024-02-036).
