Effects of Tooth Brushing and MouthWashing on Leaching Bisphenol A Levels From an Orthodontic Adhesive: An In Vitro Study.
Article in Turkish journal of orthodontics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectiveTo assess the levels of bisphenol A (BPA) released from an orthodontic adhesive with respect to the effects of tooth brushing and mouth washing.
methodsThree groups, each containing fifteen adhesive samples were prepared. In Group 1, samples were polymerized according to manufacturer instructions. In Group 2, after the same polymerization protocol, each sample was brushed with a fluoride-containing toothpaste. For Group 3, samples were immersed in a mouth washing solution after polymerization. Later, all samples were placed into glass tubes containing 5 mL distilled water. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) measurements were performed to assess the leaching amount of BPA. Intergroup comparison was performed by one way ANOVA test.
resultsMean amounts of BPA were found to be 0.2674 µg/L, 0.2692 µg/L, and 0.2705 µg/L, respectively. Only a significant difference was found between Group 1 and 3 (P < .01), revealing higher BPA levels with the mouth washing solution.
conclusionMeasurable amounts of BPA release were observed in all groups of orthodontic adhesive samples, but the detected amounts were below the toxic levels. From a clinical point of view, alcohol-containing mouth washing solutions might increase the amount of leaching monomer, since alcohol is solvent of BPA.
