Evaluation of dentin bridge formation and postoperative pain reduction after direct pulp capping using photobiomodulation therapy, platelet-rich fibrin, and mineral trioxide aggregate - A randomized clinical trial.
Article in Journal of conservative dentistry and endodontics, 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
Objective: Direct pulp capping (DPC) preserves pulp vitality and stimulates reparative dentin formation. Photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) may enhance healing especially with platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA). This study aims to assess the effects of PBMT, alone or with PRF or MTA, on postoperative pain after DPC and on dentin bridge thickness using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Materials and Methods: Sixty patients (17-45 years) with reversible pulpitis in permanent molars were randomly divided into three groups ( Results: At 24 h, there was no significant reduction in pain compared to baseline across all the groups. However, in the first and second weeks, groups treated with PBMT showed a significant reduction in pain ( Conclusion: PBMT with PRF was associated with better pain reduction and dentin bridge formation than other interventions.
