Comparative Evaluation of Novel Automated Irrigation Devices with Side-Vented Needle Irrigation on Bacterial CFU Counts in Nonvital Teeth.
Article in Journal of pharmacy & bioallied sciences, 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
Background: Syringe needle irrigation is used frequently to deliver root canal disinfectants. However, conventional syringe needle irrigation has its potential drawbacks. The current study, hence, aimed at assessing the real-time benefit of using conventional needle irrigation as compared to a novel automated irrigation device in patients undergoing root canal treatment. Methods: It is a prospective study where 45 patients with single-rooted teeth were allocated into three groups according to the respective test disinfection technique used for disinfection: group I: novel automated irrigation device, group II: open-ended flat needle irrigation, and group III: side-vented needle irrigation. Pre- and postoperative culture samples were obtained and transferred immediately for microbial analysis. Results: A difference was noted among the groups ( Conclusion: The novel automated irrigation device was better than syringe needle irrigation in microbial reduction.
