Monitoring enamel caries on resin-treated occlusal surfaces using quantitative light-induced fluorescence: an in vitro study.

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
The aim of this study is to evaluate the ability of quantitative light-induced fluorescence (QLF) to monitor enamel caries lesions of different severity stages located on the occlusal surfaces of permanent teeth before and after treatment with resin infiltrant. Sixty extracted permanent teeth had one occlusal site selected and were categorized according to the International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS) criteria. The teeth were divided into three groups (n = 20): ICDAS 1, ICDAS 2, and ICDAS 3. The teeth were assessed by a trained examiner using QLF in two phases: (A) before and (B) after treatment with resin infiltrant. The caries lesions were evaluated using the following QLF parameters: area (mm
