The wand (computer-controlled LA delivery system) vs Sleeper One (electronic LA delivery system): Self- or observational assessment of intraoperative distress/pain/acceptance of treatment during provision of LA: pain-related behaviour (any disruptive behaviour/sudden reaction/movement)
- Population
- Children and adolescents having dental treatment under local anaesthetic without general anaesthesia
- Intervention
- The wand (computer-controlled LA delivery system)
- Comparison
- Sleeper One (electronic LA delivery system)
- Outcome
- Self- or observational assessment of intraoperative distress/pain/acceptance of treatment during provision of LA: pain-related behaviour (any disruptive behaviour/sudden reaction/movement)
It is very uncertain whether the wand (computer-controlled LA delivery system) changes self- or observational assessment of intraoperative… compared with sleeper One (electronic LA delivery system) (very low certainty).

How reviews are matched to this question
Reviews word the same question differently. Four decision models (TypeSafe's Jev, Liquid AI's d1-ultra, SubQ Snap and Baseten's Elephant) judged each wording of the population, intervention, comparator and outcome against the others; two wordings count as the same when at least three of them agree and none clearly disagrees, and findings count as this question only when all four elements match. Timing, setting and subgroup never split a question: they are shown on each finding.
