1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Postoperative pain remains a key concern in root canal therapy for necrotic teeth, with ongoing debate over the optimal number of treatment visits. This randomized clinical trial compared pain outcomes between single-visit and multiple-visit endodontic treatments in 80 patients. Pain was assessed using the Visual Analog Scale at 6, 24, 48, and 72 hours postoperatively. Both groups showed a progressive decline in pain with no statistically significant difference at any time point. The results suggest that single-visit therapy is as effective as multiple-visit protocols in managing postoperative pain in necrotic teeth.
