Effect of electroacupuncture on pain after periodontal flap surgery: a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in Journal of traditional Chinese medicine = Chung i tsa chih ying wen pan, 2025. 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
objectiveTo examine the effect of electro-acupuncture (EA) application on postoperative pain levels and the amount of analgesic use in patients who underwent periodontal flap surgery.
methodsIn this prospective, randomized and controlled study, patients planned for periodontal surgery were divided into two groups [EA group (
resultsThe total mean score of pain felt in the EA group (16.60 ± 2.78) was found to be significantly lower than that in the control group (31.37 ± 2.78) (
conclusionsOur study shows that electro-acupuncture application is beneficial in reducing pain after periodontal flap surgery. Overall, more research is needed to fully understand the effects of electro-acupuncture on postoperative pain.
