Silver diamine fluoride with delayed restoration reduces tooth discoloration.

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
Introduction: The standard treatment for caries is to apply silver diamine fluoride (SDF) to the tooth, followed by a composite resin or glass ionomer cement restoration (GIC). Tooth discolouration is an adverse effect of SDF. The aims of this study were to (1) determine whether applying a composite compared to a GIC restoration after SDF to caries-infected teeth results in less discoloration, and (2) determine whether immediate or delayed restoration application is associated with less discoloration. Methods: Sixty samples of caries-infected teeth were divided into five groups: (1) control (SDF alone), (2) SDF plus immediate composite restoration, (3) SDF plus immediate GIC restoration, (4) SDF plus delayed composite restoration, and (5) SDF plus delayed GIC restoration. The delay between SDF and restoration for groups 4 and 5 was two weeks. Tooth color was measured at three sites for each sample at baseline before SDF application and at multiple times. Results: When comparing the change between baseline color to the color at the last time measurement in all groups, we found that Group 4 (17.4 ± 4.3) and Group 5 (14.4 ± 5.3) changed the least compared to baseline and were not statistically significantly different from each other. Conclusion: Under laboratory conditions, delaying application of restoration for two weeks after SDF to samples of caries-infected teeth significantly reduced discoloration, with neither composite nor GIC being superior. If these findings are confirmed in a clinical setting, delaying restoration by two weeks could provide an inexpensive oral health strategy to reduce the negative aesthetic impact associated with SDF.
