The effect of the design of the irrigation needle used during endodontic treatment on postoperative pain: a randomize clinical trial.
Trial report in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07080918 (EFFECTS OF IRRIGATION NEEDLES WITH DIFFERENT DESIGNS USED DURING ENDODONTIC TREATMENT ON POSTOPERATIVE PAIN), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of irrigation needles with different designs on postoperative pain during endodontic treatment. This randomized clinical study was conducted on 66 patients with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis of the mandibular molars. The patients were divided into 3 groups according to the design of the irrigation needle used during root canal treatment. Open-ended irrigation needle was used in group 1, side-port closed-ended irrigation needle was used in group 2, and double side-port closed-ended irrigation needle was used in group 3. After completion of root canal treatment, preoperative and postoperative pain levels were evaluated at 6, 24, 48, 72 h and 7 days. The data were analyzed by the Pearson chi-square test and Fisher's exact tests. Postoperative pain was highest at 6 h in all groups. A significant decrease in pain over time was observed in all groups (p < 0.05). No statistically significant differences in postoperative pain were found between the groups at any time point (p > 0.05). The design of irrigation needles used during endodontic treatment does not appear to affect postoperative pain levels. Clinical trial registration: Registration number is "NCT07080918".
