Assessment of postoperative pain following single versus multiple-visit root canal treatment: A randomised clinical trial.
Article in Bioinformation, 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
Postoperative pain following root canal procedures remains a significant clinical challenge, with on-going controversy regarding optimal single- versus multiple-visit treatment regimens for mandibular molars with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis. This study compared postoperative pain, flare-ups and analgesic consumption between single-visit (n=60) and multiple-visit (n=60) root canal therapies using standardized rotary instrumentation and warm vertical obturation in 120 matched patients. Visual Analog Scale (VAS) measurements revealed similar pain trends across both groups, peaking at 6-12 hours postoperatively with no significant differences in pain scores at any interval. Both approaches showed comparable rates of flare-ups, swelling and analgesic intake, demonstrating equivalent safety profiles and clinical outcomes. These findings advance endodontic practice by validating single-visit root canal therapy as a time-efficient alternative that maintains comparable postoperative pain control and complication rates to multiple-visit protocols.
