Susceptibility of gamma-irradiated primary teeth to a cariogenic challenge: an in vitro study.
Article in European archives of paediatric dentistry : official journal of the European Academy of Paediatric Dentistry, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purposeThis study aimed to evaluate whether radiotherapy with gamma radiation changes the susceptibility of primary teeth to a cariogenic challenge.
methodsSpecimens of primary teeth (n = 18) were subjected to gamma radiation simulating the radiotherapy treatment, and 18 specimens were used as control group. A microbiological model of caries induction by S. mutans was used to evaluate the susceptibility of these irradiated specimens to the caries development. The depth, area and volume of caries lesion formed were evaluated using microcomputer tomography analysis (μ-CT) and changes occurring on the enamel surface were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Data of the lesion depth, lesion area and volume were submitted to independent t test with a 5% of significance limit.
resultsThe lesion depth and the area of caries in the irradiated group (196.61 ± 60.41 µm and 564.52 ± 343.37 µm
conclusionThe present study results reveal that the gamma radiation protocol used for cancer treatment renders primary teeth more susceptible to a cariogenic challenge.
