Article in Laser therapy, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
BACKGROUND AND
aimsDental caries is a global concern and different materials and methods were proposed for its prevention.The aim of this study was evaluation of the effect of different demineralizing agents with and without diode laser radiation on the microhardness of primary molars enamel. MATERIALS AND
methods48 primary molar teeth were used in this study. The enamel blocks were prepared. Primary microhardness values were also measured. All samples were demineralized, then demineralization was approved by a DIAGNOdent pen. The remineralization was done into the buccal and lingual surfaces of the samples as follows:Group 1: CPP-ACP, Group 2: CPP-ACPF, Group 3: MI varnish, Group 4: NaF varnish. The lingual surfaces received diode laser irradiation. Finally, a secondary microhardness test was performed on all samples. Statistical analyses were done and a P-value less than 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant.
resultsA comparison between the primary and the secondary microhardness values showed significant differences (P = 0.003). The highest secondary microhardness values belonged to the MI varnish +laser group.
conclusionApplication of the agents, containing the combination of Ca, P, and F, was significantly better than others in increasing the microhardness of the enamel. Although the application of diode laser increased the hardness of the enamel.
