Comparison of Efficacy of 4% Articaine versus Buffered 2% Lidocaine in Mandibular Third Molar Extraction: A Prospective Analytical Study.
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: This prospective study was conducted to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of two local anaesthetic solutions: 4% articaine and buffered 2% lidocaine used during mandibular third molar extractions. Materials and Methods: A total of 200 extractions were performed at Sri Aurobindo College of Dentistry, equally divided into two groups. Results and Conclusion: Buffered Lidocaine was associated with reduced pain during injection and faster onset of subjective anaesthesia, whereas Articaine provided better pain control during the procedure. Both anaesthetics showed comparable durations and no postoperative complications, indicating both are safe and effective options when used appropriately.
