Hydrogen water versus normal saline for post-surgical irrigation: A study on healing and complication rates after third molar extraction.
Article in Bioinformation, 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
Oral surgery involving impacted mandibular third molars is a common procedure. However, it results in postoperative complaints such as pain, swelling, trismus and dry socket. Therefore, it is of interest to compare hydrogen water and normal saline as surgical irrigants in patients undergoing third molar removal. The study included 30 patients total who were divided into 2 groups of 15 and clinical parameters were assessed post-operative days 1, 2 and 7. Results showed all patients improved over time and that patients in the hydrogen water group had significantly greater improvements in pain, swelling and trismus, as well as a lower incidence of dry socket from postoperative day 2 onward. The anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties of hydrogen water appear to make it a better irrigant agent than normal saline in healing and reducing postoperative complications.
