Effect of ProTaper Ultimate and ProTaper Gold on Postoperative Pain in Mandibular First Molars With Symptomatic Irreversible Pulpitis and Symptomatic Apical Periodontitis: A Randomized Control Clinical Trial.
Trial report in Pain research & management, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05747183 (Comparison of Post Endodontic Pain for Preparation Using ProTaper Gold and ProTaper Ultimate Systems. A Randomized Clinical Study), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
Objective: To compare and evaluate the effect of ProTaper Ultimate root canal instrumentation on postoperative pain level of mandibular first molars showing symptomatic irreversible pulpitis and symptomatic apical periodontitis. Methodology: Forty patients referred to root canal treatment of the mandibular first molar were randomly divided into two equal groups according to the rotary file system used in the chemomechanical preparation: ProTaper Ultimate ( Results: No significant difference was shown between the ProTaper Ultimate and the ProTaper Gold groups in the intensity of postoperative pain at all time intervals. The postoperative pain score was zero at 7 days postoperatively for both groups. Conclusion: The ProTaper Ultimate files' effect on postoperative pain is equivalent to that of the ProTaper Gold files. Clinical Relevance: The ProTaper Ultimate files' effect on postoperative pain is equivalent to that of the ProTaper Gold files. ProTaper Ultimate and ProTaper Gold rotary file systems can be equally and safely used in single-visit root canal treatment. Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT05747183.
