Comparative analysis of postoperative pain with glycolic acid vs. ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid in endodontic treatment: A randomized clinical trial.
Article in Journal of clinical and experimental dentistry, 2025. 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: The aim of this study was to evaluate pain and analgesic intake after endodontic treatment using glycolic acid (GA) or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) as the final irrigating solution. Material and Methods: One hundred fifty patients were randomly assigned to two groups for smear layer removal: 17% GA or 17% EDTA. Postoperative pain was assessed at 24, 48 hours and 7 days. The need for analgesic intake was recorded. Descriptive analysis was performed to assess demographics (Student t, Chi-square and Fisher tests) and study outcomes (Mann Whitney, Friedman and Nemenyi) ( Results: Postoperative pain occurred in 52% of the cases. In the 24-hour period, GA had a significantly lower pain score ( Conclusions: GA is associated with less postoperative pain at 24 hours compared to EDTA. No statistically significant difference was observed at 48 hours and 7 days.
