Effect of low-level laser therapy on postoperative pain following root canal filling with resin-based and bioceramic sealers: A double-blinded randomized clinical trial.

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
Context: One of the most important aspects of endodontic treatment is pain management. Studies have reported conflicting results regarding postoperative pain following obturation with different sealers. Bioceramic sealers are promising alternative to other sealers. Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is found to reduce postoperative pain. Aim: The study aimed to evaluate postoperative pain following root canal obturation with bioactive glass (BG)-based and resin-based sealer with or without adjunctive LLLT. Materials and Methods: Forty patients were included in the study according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Root canal treatment was performed using NiTi rotary instruments. Patients were randomly distributed into four groups of 10 in each: Group 1, resin-based sealers without LLLT; Group 2, resin-based sealers with LLLT; Group 3 bioceramic-based sealers without LLLT; and Group 4, bioceramic-based sealers with LLLT. Postoperative pain levels on the 1 Results: BG-based sealers in conjunction with LLLT showed the least postoperative pain compared to the resin-based sealers. Conclusion: Bioceramic-based sealers with LLLT may be used as an alternate strategy to control postoperative pain.
