High contrast reflectance imaging at 1950 nm for the assessment of lesion activity on extracted teeth.
Article in Proceedings of SPIE--the International Society for Optical Engineering, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Changes in the reflectivity of lesions on the proximal surfaces of extracted human teeth were measured at SWIR wavelengths from 1300-2000 nm as they were dried with air to assess lesion activity. An extended range tungsten-halogen lamp with bandpass filters of varying wavelength (bandwidth) 1300 nm (90), 1460 nm (85), 1535 nm (80), and 1675 nm (90) along with a broadband ASE source centered near the peak of the water-absorption band at 1950-nm were used as light sources and an extended range InGaAs camera (1000-2340 nm) was used to acquire reflected light images as the samples were dried with air. MicroCT images were used as a gold standard for comparison. SWIR light at 1950 nm yields extremely high contrast of demineralization and appears to be the optimum wavelength for the assessment of lesion activity on tooth coronal surfaces.
