Clinical and Radiographic Evaluation of Photodynamic Therapy in Root Canal Treatment of Primary Molars: A 15-month Randomized Clinical Trial.
Article in International journal of clinical pediatric dentistry, 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
Aim: To clinically and radiographically assess the efficacy of photodynamic therapy (PDT) as a novel technique in the root canal treatment (RCT) of primary molars. Materials and methods: Sixty primary mandibular molars were selected from children aged between 4 and 7 years, each presenting with clinical and radiographic criteria of pulpal necrosis. They were randomly divided into three groups ( Results: Considering the clinical and radiographic success, no statistically significant difference ( Conclusion: Photodynamic therapy and modified PDT showed effective and comparable clinical and radiographic outcomes to those of conventional root canal therapy in primary molars. Clinical significance: Photodynamic therapy can be effectively utilized in the endodontic treatment of primary teeth through simple and minimally time-consuming procedures, making it particularly suitable for children.
