Comparative Efficacy of Sonic, Ultrasonic, and Diode Laser-Activated Irrigation with Combination of NaOCl/EDTA/CHX Solutions Against
Article in Clinical, cosmetic and investigational dentistry, 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
Purpose: This research evaluated the effectiveness of sonic, ultrasonic, and diode laser irrigation techniques with a final irrigation protocol of 3% NaOCl, 17% EDTA, and 2% CHX in eliminating Materials and Methods: The research method utilized 38 human lower premolar teeth inoculated with Results: The results demonstrated that the diode laser irrigation technique achieved the highest effectiveness, with an average penetration depth of 1045.55 (740.00-1420.00) µm, significantly outperforming sonic (751.11 [480.00-1170.00] µm; p-value = 0.024) and ultrasonic (617.77 [450.00-1090.00] µm; p-value = 0.002) irrigation techniques. The control group exhibited the lowest effectiveness (243.33 [150.00-330.00] µm). Conclusion: Diode laser irrigation with the final irrigation protocol provided the highest efficacy against
