Comparative evaluation of 6% cranberry, 10% green tea, 50% aloe vera and 10% sodium ascorbate on reversing the immediate bond strength of bleached enamel:
Article in Journal of oral biology and craniofacial research. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
objectivesThe present study aimed to assess antioxidant activity of herbal antioxidants namely 6% cranberry extract, 10% green tea, 50% aloe vera and 10% sodium ascorbate and their effect on reversal of bond strength in bleached enamel. MATERIALS AND
methodFrom one hundred and twenty extracted maxillary central incisors enamel blocks of 5 × 5 mm were prepared and arbitrarily divided into six experimental groups (n = 20): Group A: no bleaching, Group B: only bleaching protocol, Group C - bleaching + 6% cranberry extract solution, Group D - bleaching +10% Green Tea extract, Group E - bleaching + 50% aloe vera extract, Group F - bleaching + 10% Sodium Ascorbate. After bleaching antioxidants were applied for 10 min and were subjected to bonding procedures. The specimens were sectioned into 120 small strips of size (1 × 1 × 8 mm). Sixty sticks were analyzed to micro tensile bond strength using Universal testing machine and fractured segment were observed for failure modes (Adhesive, Cohesive and Mixed) under stereomicroscope. Remaining 60 sticks were observed for interface gap between tooth and composite resin under SEM. The %AA (antioxidant activity) was assessed with spectrophotometric analysis.
resultsData was statistically analyzed using ANOVA and Post Hoc Tukey's test. Group A (91.68 ± 2.24 Mpa) showed higher mean micro tensile bond strength versus group D (82.14 ± 1.45 Mpa), followed by group E (75.26 ± 1.92Mpa), group F (63.89 ± 1.95Mpa), group C (57.58 ± 1.96 Mpa) and least in group B (31.5 ± 1.27 Mpa). The %failure mode inferred maximum adhesive mode of failure (86.25%).
conclusionAll the four antioxidants were able to reverse the compromised bond strength comparatively after bleaching maximum being green tea followed by aloe vera, sodium ascorbate, and minimum in cranberry. CLINICALLY SIGNIFICANCE-: Easily available, biocompatible, cost effectual, and potent herbal antioxidants could be used considerably for immediate esthetic cases where time is a restricting factor.
