Enhancing Pulp Therapy Outcomes in Children with Autism: A Sensory-adapted Dental Environment Approach.
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
Introduction: Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) exhibit heightened dental anxiety and uncooperative behavior due to sensory sensitivities and communication challenges. Pulp therapy (pulpotomy/pulpectomy) is a common, time-consuming procedure that is largely dependent on patient compliance. Aim: This observational study was done to assess the effect of a sensory-adapted dental environment (SADE) on improving the outcomes of pulp therapy in children with autism aged 5-14 years, in comparison with conventional dental setting. Methodology: A total of 60 ASD patients, requiring pulp therapy, were randomly allocated into two groups: SADE ( Results: Children in SADE showed significantly higher compliance and lower anxiety: mean cooperation scores (1-5 scale) were 4.6 ± 0.3 in SADE vs 3.2 ± 0.5 in controls ( Conclusion: A multisensory-adapted environment markedly enhanced patient compliance and procedural efficiency in ASD children's pulp therapy, suggesting that SADE is a feasible nonpharmacologic strategy to mitigate anxiety and improve dental care outcomes.
