Comparative Evaluation of the Efficacy of Two Different Rotary Files on Root Canal Obturation Quality, Postoperative Pain, and Instrumentation Time in Primary Molars: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Article in International journal of clinical pediatric 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
Aim and background: This study aimed to evaluate and compare the efficacy of ProAF Baby Gold and Prime Pedo rotary files for root canal preparation in primary maxillary and mandibular second molars. Methods: Children aged 4-7 years with primary molars requiring pulpectomy were included in the study. A total of 58 participants were randomly allocated into two groups of 29 each: group I ( Results: The mean instrumentation time for canal preparation was 153.76 seconds in group I and 189.17 seconds in group II. The ProAF Baby Gold files group required less time for biomechanical preparation compared to the Prime Pedo files.The mean pain score in group I system was 0.48 when compared to 0.83 in group II. Radiographic evaluation of obturation quality showed that 17 samples in group I were optimally filled, compared to 16 samples in group II.The obturation quality and postoperative pain between the two groups were compared using the Chi-squared test, which showed no statistically significant difference ( Conclusion: This study showed better quality of obturation, reduction in instrumentation time, and reduced postoperative pain with the use of the rotary file systems. Clinical significance: Behavior management is a critical aspect of pediatric dentistry. With a reduction in the time required for treatment, behavior management may become easier for pediatric dentists. How to cite this article: Sawant S, Kalaskar R.
