Anesthetic Efficacy, Injection Pain and Pulse-rate Effect of Needle-free Injection in Pulpal Anesthesia of Maxillary Premolars with Irreversible Pulpitis: Randomised Clinical Study.
Trial report in European endodontic journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07498621 (Assessment of Maxillary Local Anesthesia Infiltration Efficiency and Adult Patient Satisfaction), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
objectiveThis study aims to compare the pain perception associated with the needle-free system (Comfort-In™) and the standard needle injection method during root canal treatments in adults.
methodsForty-four maxillary premolar teeth of the patients that applied to university for treatment and needed endodontic treatment were included in the study. Patients were anesthetized with two different injection methods; needle-free injection and conventional dental injection. In both groups, oxygen saturation and pulse measurements of the patients were recorded at 30-second intervals for 2 minutes before anesthesia and 4 minutes after anesthesia. Pain during the injection and opening of the access cavity preparation was recorded according to Visual Analog Scale (VAS). The data were analyzed according to a statistical program.
resultsIn this study, a significant difference was found between the groups in terms of pain during anesthesia administration and the access cavity preparation (p<0.001). There were no significant differences in terms of gender and age (p>0.05). There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of oxygen saturation and pulse values before and after treatment (p>0.05).
conclusionNeedle-free injection makes the treatment more comfortable for patients with injection fear and anxiety, making the procedure easier for the physician and the patient. (EEJ-2024-12-197).
