Colorimetric evaluation of white spot lesions following external bleaching with fluoridation: An
Article in Korean journal of orthodontics, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05733676 (Comparison of MI Paste Plus and Resin Infiltration in Improvement of White Spot Lesions Following Fixed Orthodontic Treatment), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
objectiveThis study was performed to investigate the effects of external tooth bleaching with flouridation on the appearance of white spot lesions (WSLs)
methodsIn total, 125 bracket-bonded bovine incisor enamel blocks with artificial WSLs were randomly divided into a control group and four treatment groups (home bleaching, home bleaching + fluoridation, in-office bleaching, and in-office bleaching + fluoridation). A spectroradiometer (SR) and digital images (DIs) were used to evaluate colorimetric parameters (Commission Internationale l'Eclairage L
resultsThe SR-based color change after bleaching was significantly greater in the treatment groups than in the control group (
conclusionsThe findings of this study suggested that external tooth bleaching with fluoridation can alleviate the conspicuity of WSLs.
