Influence of Er, Cr: YSGG (2780 nm) and Nanosecond Nd: YAG Laser (1064 nm) Irradiation on Enamel Acid Resistance: Morphological and Elemental Analysis.
Article in Open access Macedonian journal of medical sciences, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
backgroundEnamel demineralisation is an initial step of the serious dental problem including dental caries, white spot lesions and dental erosion.
aimCompare the effect of Er, Cr: YSGG (λ = 2780 nm) and nanosecond Nd: YAG (λ = 1064 nm) laser on enamel acid resistance. MATERIAL AND
methodsThirty non-carious human premolars, extracted for orthodontic reasons, were used. The experimental groups (n = 10 each group) were: Group I, untreated (control); Group II, Er, Cr: YSGG laser irradiation (0.75 W, 20 Hz, 140 μs, 10 s); Group III, nanosecond pulsed Nd: YAG laser irradiation (0.8 W, 10 Hz, 7 ns, 10 s). Scanning electron microscope and Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX) were used to assess acquired enamel resistance to PH cycling.
resultsAfter subjecting the three experimental groups to PH cycling, scanning electron microscopic examination revealed irregular porous dissoluted enamel surface in group I. However, groups II and III demonstrated partially dissoluted enamel surface. EDX analysis demonstrated the lowest mean percentage decrease in calcium and phosphorus content in group II followed by group III, then the highest mean percentage decrease was observed in untreated group I. One-way ANOVA revealed significant differences (p < 0.0001) between the tested groups.
conclusionsBoth Er, Cr: YSSG and nanosecond Nd: YAG laser irradiation were able to improve the acid resistance of enamel. However, enamel surface treated with Er, Cr: YSSG laser showed the lowest mean percentage decrease of calcium and phosphorus (highest acid resistance).
