The association between Nd:YAG laser and desensitizing dentifrices for the treatment of dentin hypersensitivity.
Article in Lasers in medical science, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
This study aims to evaluate the association between Nd:YAG laser (with and without a photoabsorber) and two desensitizing dentifrices containing 15% NovaMin or 8% arginine, as potential treatments for dentin hypersensitivity (DH). DH was simulated by EDTA application for 2 min. Specimens were then analyzed with an environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM) to ensure open dentin tubules (ODT), counted by using ImageJ software. Specimens were randomized into eight groups (n = 10): Laser (L), Laser+Photoabsorber (LP), Arginine (A), Arginine+Laser (AL), Arginine+Laser+Photoabsorber (ALP), NovaMin (N), NovaMin+Laser (NL), and NovaMin+Laser+Photoabsorber (NLP). Laser irradiation was performed with 1 W, 100 mJ, 10 Hz, ≅85 J/cm
