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

Oral hygiene products containing tin are suitable to prevent erosive tooth wear, yet effects on the oral microbiota are not known yet. Therefore, this study determined the salivary microbiome of 16 participants using products with stannous ions for three years (TG) compared with a control group (CG) to assess their influence on the microbiota. Participants were included in a randomized controlled clinical trial (RCT) with biannual visits. Illumina Miseq sequencing revealed as most abundant genera: Streptococcus (TG 14.3%; CG 13.0%), Veillonella (TG 11.3%; CG 10.9%), Prevotella (TG 7.0%; CG 9.8%), Haemophilus (TG 6.6%; CG 7.2%), Porphyromonas (TG 5.9%, CG 5.1%), Leptotrichia (TG 5.8%; CG 4.9%), Actinomyces (TG 4.0%; CG 4.6%) and Neisseria (TG 5.4%; CG 4.2%). Beta-Diversity was not significantly different between groups at both time points, although significant differences between groups were found for certain taxa after three years. The genus Prevotella was found in higher abundance in CG whereas Neisseria and Granulicatella, health-associated taxa, were found more abundantly in TG. Salivary microbiota after three years reflected a composition associated with oral health, hence continual use as a preventive measure for dental erosion can be considered safe and benefitting oral health for patients with a high risk of erosion.
