Evaluation of post-operative pain after single-sitting pulpectomy using hand versus rotary instrumentation in primary molars.
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
Post-operative pain after single-sitting pulpectomy in primary molars significantly affects children's treatment acceptance and subsequent behaviour. Therefore, it is of interest to compare hand versus rotary instrumentation in 80 children (4-9 years) requiring pulpectomy in mandibular primary molars (n=40 each). Pain was assessed using the Wong-Baker FACES scale at 6, 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours post-treatment, alongside analgesic consumption. Rotary instrumentation showed significantly lower pain scores at 6 hours (1.85±1.12 vs 3.20± 1.45, p<0.001), 12 hours (1.42±0.98 vs 2.65±1.28, p<0.001), and 24 hours (0.78±0.72 vs 1.55±1.08, p< 0.001). Rotary instrumentation reduces post-operative pain compared to hand files, establishing it as the preferred technique for single- visit pulpectomy in pediatric endodontics.
