Postoperative Evaluation of Patient Comfort in Apicoectomy Cases in Mandibular Posteriors: A Comparative Study.
Article in Journal of pharmacy & bioallied sciences, 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
Purpose: This study aims to evaluate and compare postoperative comfort levels in patients undergoing apicoectomy in mandibular posteriors using two different surgical techniques. Methods: A total of 60 patients with persistent periapical pathology in mandibular posterior teeth were included and randomly divided into two groups. Group A underwent traditional apicoectomy with rotary burs, while Group B received ultrasonic-assisted apicoectomy. Parameters, such as postoperative pain, swelling, and functional discomfort, were assessed on days 1, 3, and 7 post-surgery. Results: Both techniques demonstrated significant improvement in comfort over the follow-up period. However, Group B reported lower pain scores and faster resolution of swelling. Functional discomfort was minimal in Group B by day 7 compared to Group A ( Conclusions: Ultrasonic-assisted apicoectomy significantly enhances postoperative comfort in patients undergoing apicoectomy in mandibular posteriors compared to traditional methods.
