Postoperative pain in patients following endodontic treatment by XP-endo Shaper files: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Article in Journal of conservative dentistry and endodontics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Context: Postoperative pain occurs in 25%-60% of patients following endodontic treatment. It can significantly impact a patient's quality of life and requires timely management or, preferably, prevention. Aims: The present systematic review was conducted aiming to analyze randomized controlled trials that compared postoperative pain in patients whose canals were shaped by XPS versus other endodontic file systems. Materials and Methods: A systematic search was performed using key terms "postoperative pain" AND "XP-endo Shaper" across multiple databases to identify relevant randomized controlled trials. Details concerning the study design, endodontic preparation, XP-endo Shaper-related factors, and pain assessment were recorded. The risk of bias was calculated using the RevMan 5.3 software. Meta-analysis done using the random effects model which was represented using forest plots. Results: Six studies evaluating a total of Conclusions: XP-endo Shaper has proven to be a relatively more efficient file system that effectively cleans and shapes the root canals, including those with difficult anatomy.
