A novel micro-debulking device for periapical lesion management - A case series.
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
Large periapical lesions are common complications of pulp necrosis and may delay healing after standard root canal treatments. While surgical endodontic techniques can facilitate healing, they often involve more invasive procedures and are less accepted by patients. To address these issues, a simplified through-the-canal method was developed for the minimally invasive management of periapical lesions. This case series aimed to evaluate the clinical feasibility, safety, and patient comfort of a novel micro-debulking device used for managing periapical lesions. Three patients diagnosed with symptomatic apical periodontitis and a periapical index (PAI) score of 2 or higher were treated using a novel device following conventional chemomechanical preparation of the incisors and first premolar. The outcomes assessed included postoperative pain reduction measured by the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), the feasibility of the procedure, and radiographic healing evaluated through PAI scores at a 3-month follow-up. Results showed favorable symptomatic relief and improved radiographic healing in all cases, with no serious complications reported.
