Piezoelectric and conventional rotary techniques for mandibular impacted third molar extraction: A comparative study.
Article in Bioinformation, 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
Surgical extraction of impacted lower third molars exists as a popular operation performed on the oral cavity. Piezoelectric surgery presents itself as an emerging minimal-invasiveness treatment option compared to traditional rotary instruments, which have been commonly used. Therefore, it is of interest to compare the clinical efficiency, postoperative outcomes and patient satisfaction between piezoelectric and conventional rotary techniques. The study evaluated two parameters: surgical time and postoperative pain, as measured by VAS scores, along with swelling severity, trismus development and healing rates during a 7-day assessment period. An extended period of surgery using piezoelectric techniques yields better post-operative outcomes than traditional rotary techniques, characterized by reduced pain levels and swelling, as well as improved functional restoration.
