Article in Dental research journal. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06063239 (Probiotics in Special Needs Patients at High Risk for Tooth Decay), which is not on this map. Cited by 23 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

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

backgroundIt is cleared that some probiotic strains inhibit biofilm formation of oral bacteria, but its mechanisms are not clearly understood yet. It is proposed that one of the mechanisms can be biosurfactant production, a structurally diverse group of surface-active compounds synthesized by microorganisms. Hence, this study focused on the evaluation of the anti-biofilm and antiadhesive activities of the MATERIALS AND

methodsIn this

resultsThe FTIR results of biosurfactant showed that it was protein rich. It also showed anti-biofilm formation activity on the glass slide and antiadhesive activity till 40% on microtiter plate wells. It also showed a significant reduction (
