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.

2 · The registry

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

Mouthguards in Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) should be sanitized to prevent alteration of oral microbiota. The present study determined, in vitro and by SEM observation, the decontaminating effect of different substances on EVA mouthguards previously contaminated with saliva and broth culture of Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29212 and Candida albicans CH 34 (clinically isolated). Subsequently, the mouthguards were subjected to the following treatments: (A) Untreated; (B) 5 min with sterilized distilled water (H
