Comparison of Er,Cr:YSGG and diode laser effects on dentin hypersensitivity: a split-mouth randomized clinical trial.
Trial report in Clinical oral investigations, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
objectivesThe aim of the present study was to compare the clinical efficacy of diode laser and Er,Cr:YSGG lasers in the treatment of dentin hypersensitivity. MATERIALS AND
methodsThirty-four teeth from 17 patients with dentin hypersensitivity were divided into two groups. In group D, the teeth were irradiated with diode laser beams with a wavelength of 940 nm for 1 min, and in group E, the teeth were irradiated with Er,Cr:YSGG laser beams with a wavelength of 2780 nm and a pulse width of 140-200 μs. Treatments with laser beams were carried out in 1 session. Sensitivity was assessed with air spray and a dental explorer. Pain severity was measured with the use of visual analog scale (VAS) before and after laser application.
resultsA decrease in dentin hypersensitivity was observed in both groups immediately, 1 week, and 1 month after laser irradiation. Statistically significant differences were found between the two groups in dentin hypersensitivity severity only 1 month after laser application. The decrease in dentin hypersensitivity by Er,Cr:YSGG laser was significantly higher than that by diode laser at this time interval.
conclusionThe decrease in dentin hypersensitivity after application of Er,Cr:YSGG laser was significantly higher than that after the application of diode laser at 1-month postoperative interval. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Er,Cr:YSGG laser is a better choice than diode laser for the treatment of dentin hypersensitivity in the short term.
