Anxiety among patients with single versus multiple visits for root canal treatment.
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
RCT treatment makes patients feel nervous often and the option to do the procedure in one session or divided across multiple visits affects both patients' peace of mind during the process and the treatment results. The investigators split 60 individuals with irreversible pulpitis into two groups that received RCT as one continuous session or performed across several visits. Patients who had single-visit treatment experienced greater anxiety decrease from 18.6 points to 11.2 points whereas patients receiving multiple sessions showed less significant anxiety reduction from 19.1 points to 13.7 points. Single-visit RCT led to lower pain scores in patients compared to multiple-visit RCT at one week yet success rates between both groups remained similar at 93% versus 90% (p>0.05). Patient anxiety improved better after single-visit RCT procedures despite achieving comparable treatment outcomes.
