Evaluation of Proanthocyanidin-based dentifrices on dentin-wear after erosion and dental abrasion -
Article in Journal of clinical and experimental dentistry, 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
Background: Proanthocyanidin has been considered as a preventive agent against erosion because of its properties, which involves remineralization, reduction of demineralization and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) inhibition. Thus, the aim of this in situ study was to evaluate the effect of proanthocyanidin-based dentifrices on wear resistance of dentin specimens subjected to erosion associated with abrasion. Material and Methods: This crossover double-blinded study was performed in 5 phases of 5 days each, with 10 healthy volunteers who wore 5 palatal devices (1 for each phase) with 4 dentin specimens. The groups under study were: G1 - placebo dentifrice (negative control group); G2 - 0.012% chlorhexidine dentifrice (1st positive control group); G3 - NaF 1110 ppm fluoride dentifrice (2nd positive control group); G4 - 10% purified proanthocyanidin dentifrice (1st test group); G5 - fluoride + proanthocyanidin dentifrice (2nd test group). Erosion was performed by palatal device immersion in acid beverage (Coca-cola®), 3 times daily for 5 minutes during 5 days. Abrasion was applied after the first and third erosive cycles by using a eletric toothbrush during 15 seconds in each specimen with the application of the studied dentifrices slurry. The response variable was depth of dentin loss (µm) measured by profilometry. Data were analyzed by Repeated Measures Analysis of Variance followed by LSD Fisher's test ( Results: Data (G1: 1.76 ± 0.55A; G2: 1.19 ± 0.42B; G3: 1.29 ± 0.34B; G4: 0.93 ± 0.38C; G5: 0.82 ± 0.34C) showed that G4 and G5 did not presented significant difference between them, but showed less dentine loss when compared to all other groups. G1 presented the highest dentin wear. Conclusions: Proanthocyanidin and the combination of proanthocyanidin and fluoride dentifrices revealed the best results, showing that these formulations could be a promising alternative for patients who suffer with dentin erosion.
