A Comparative Evaluation of the Effect of Photobiomodulation on the Depth of Anaesthesia During Endodontic Treatment of Teeth with Symptomatic Irreversible Pulpitis-A Prospective Clinical Trial.
Article in Journal of pharmacy & bioallied sciences, 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
Background: Effective pulpal anesthesia is crucial in endodontic practice, particularly in treating symptomatic irreversible pulpitis. This study explores photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) as a non-invasive adjunct to traditional anesthesia. Aim: To compare the efficiency of diode laser and Er, Cr: YSGG laser in enhancing anesthesia depth during endodontic treatment of teeth with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis. Methods: A total of 45 patients were divided into three groups: placebo (Group 1), diode laser (Group 2), and Er, Cr: YSGG laser (Group 3). Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores were recorded at three stages: pre-operative, during access opening, and post-operative. Results: Both laser groups demonstrated significantly lower VAS scores compared to the placebo group. The diode laser showed the most significant reduction in pain during the procedure. Conclusion: Photobiomodulation using diode and Er, Cr: YSGG lasers effectively enhances anesthesia depth during endodontic treatment, with diode laser showing superior results.
