1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The use of a visual analogue scale to compare and assess the pain, comfort and efficacy of transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation (TENS) with 2% lignocaine during extraction is of interest. Hence, this study was conducted with 20 patients where 10 patients underwent extraction under transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation and the other 10 patients with 2% lignocaine. Pain and anaesthetic assessment was performed. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation is non-invasive and safe to use, making it far more effective in removing dental injection-related anxiety.
