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
Objective: This prospective cohort study evaluated the interrelationship between pain alleviation, chewing efficiency, and anxiety reduction following root canal treatment (RCT) to establish a comprehensive "triad of success" framework for patient-centered outcomes. Materials and Methods: In total, 150 patients undergoing single-rooted RCT were assessed preoperatively and at 24 h, 48 h, 7 days, and 30 days post-treatment. Pain was measured using a 100-mm visual analog scale (VAS), chewing efficiency via VAS, and anxiety using the Modified Dental Anxiety Scale (MDAS). Statistical analysis included repeated-measures ANOVA, paired Results: Pain scores demonstrated significant reduction from 42.3 mm (±12.1) at 24 h to 3.1 mm (±2.8) at 30 days ( Conclusion: Successful RCT achieves significant, clinically meaningful improvements across pain, function, and psychological domains. The identified "triad of success" provides clinicians with evidence-based targets for optimizing patient care, emphasizing the importance of addressing both biological and psychosocial aspects of endodontic treatment.
