Effect of piezoelectric device on intraoperative hemostasis and quality of life after endodontic microsurgery in maxillary molars: A randomized controlled trial.
Article in Journal of conservative dentistry and endodontics, 2026. 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
Introduction: This study compared the effect of piezoelectric device and conventional burs on the quality of life (QoL) and intraoperative hemostasis after endodontic microsurgery in maxillary molars. Materials and Methods: Thirty patients were divided randomly into the control group (bur) and the test group (piezoelectric). QoL was estimated using a modified version of the patient's perception questionnaire (PPQ) up to 7postoperative days and oral health impact profile-14 (OHIP-14) at baseline, till 7 days, 6 months, and 12 months. A visual analog scale was used for pain assessment. Statistical analysis applied was Fisher's exact/Chi-square test, Mann-Whitney test, Friedman test, and Wilcoxon signed rank test. Results: Significantly less swelling and interruption of meals from 1 Conclusions: Piezoelectric surgery improved patients' QoL postsurgery as assessed by PPQ and OHIP-14, along with better intraoperative hemostasis.
