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
purposeThe objective of this in situ study was to quantify the intraoral biofilm reduction on bracket material as a result of different surface modifications using silver ions. In addition to galvanic silver coating and physical vapor deposition (PVD), the plasma immersion ion implantation and deposition (PIIID) procedure was investigated for the first time within an orthodontic application. MATERIALS AND
methodsAn occlusal splint equipped with differently silver-modified test specimens based on stainless steel bracket material was prepared for a total of 12 periodontally healthy patients and was worn in the mouth for 48 h. The initially formed biofilm was fluorescently stained and a quantitative comparative analysis of biofilm volume, biofilm surface coverage and live/dead distribution of bacteria was performed by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM).
resultsCompared to untreated stainless steel bracket material, the antibacterial effect of the PIIID silver-modified surface was just as significant with regard to reducing the biofilm volume and the surface coverage as the galvanically applied silver layer and the PVD silver coating. Regarding the live/dead distribution, however, the PIIID modification was the only surface that showed a significant increase in the proportion of dead cells compared to untreated bracket material and the galvanic coating.
conclusionsOrthodontic stainless steel with a silver-modified surface by PIIID procedure showed an effective reduction in the intraoral biofilm formation compared to untreated bracket material, in a similar manner to PVD and galvanic silver coatings applied to the surface. Additionally, the PIIID silver-modified surface has an increased bactericidal effect.
