Comparison of pulp sensibility test responses in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients and healthy individuals in the Indian subpopulation.
Article in Journal of conservative dentistry and endodontics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Introduction: Systemic conditions such as diabetes mellitus (DM) may influence or be reflected through variations in pulp sensibility responses, making dental pulp tests potentially valuable in systemic health assessment. Aim: This study aimed to compare the responses of pulp sensibility tests - electric pulp test (EPT) and cold test - among patients with controlled type 2 diabetes, uncontrolled type 2 diabetes, and healthy individuals. Materials and Methods: A total of 300 participants aged 20-60 years were divided into three equal groups ( Results: Pulp sensibility test responses significantly differed among the three groups. Participants with uncontrolled diabetes exhibited blunted responses in both EPT and cold tests compared to controlled diabetics and healthy individuals ( Conclusion: Alterations in pulp sensibility responses may serve as a potential early indicator of systemic metabolic dysregulation, with reduced responses correlating with poor glycemic control in type 2 DM.
