1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of a clinical preventive treatment using Er,Cr:YSGG laser irradiation on bovine enamel susceptibility after erosive challenge. Twelve sound bovine incisors were used and twenty-four enamel specimens were prepared in total. Two experimental groups (n = 12) were assigned as follows: Group 1 was the control group and in Group 2, the enamel specimens were irradiated with an Er,Cr:YSGG (2780 nm) laser system for 20 s, with average output power of 0.25 W, pulse repetition rate at 20 Hz without water or air flow and the pulse duration was fixed at 140 μsec. The tip diameter was 600 μm, the tip to tissue distance was 1 mm, the speed of handpiece movement was 2 mm/s, the power density was 88.34 W/cm
