Carious lesion detection technologies: factual clinical approaches.
Article in British dental journal, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Minimal intervention dentistry is now accepted as the contemporary approach for caries management. The development of adjunctive technologies to assist early lesion detection has led to widespread marketing of various devices over the past two decades. A thorough understanding of the clinical relevance and limitations of such devices is required to make valid interpretation of their results. This paper will discuss the most common commercially available carious lesion detection technologies in order to give dental practitioners clear information about the devices' scientific principles, advantages and limitations within a clinical context.
