Ion Concentration of Silver Diamine Fluoride Solutions.
Article in International dental journal, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
objectiveThe aim of this work was to determine the free fluoride and silver ion concentrations and the alkalinity of 4 commercially available 38% silver diamine fluoride (SDF) solutions.
methodsFour common brands of 38% SDF solutions, namely Saforide, Advantage Arrest, e-SDF, and Topamine, were selected. Three bottles of each brand of SDF solution from the same lot were assessed. Measurements of the silver and fluoride content and alkalinity were performed directly when a bottle was opened. Each measurement was repeated to recheck its reliability. The free fluoride ion concentrations were measured using a calibrated ion-selective electrode. The free silver ion concentrations were measured using optical emission spectrometry. The alkalinity of the SDF solution was determined with a pH electrode.
resultsThe mean concentrations of fluoride ions of the Saforide, Advantage Arrest, e-SDF, and Topamine were 43,233 ppm, 44,333 ppm, 51,370 ppm, and 54,400 ppm, respectively; their percentage differences from the expected value (44,800 ppm) were 3.5%, 2.4%, 14.7%, and 21.4%, respectively. The mean concentrations of silver ions of the Saforide, Advantage Arrest, e-SDF, and Topamine were 258,841 ppm, 260,016 ppm, 336,149 ppm, and 319,966 ppm, respectively; their percentage differences from the expected value (253,900 ppm) were 3.2%, 5.8%, 32.4%, and 25.9%, respectively. The 4 products had pH values of 9.2, 9.1, 9.2, and 9.0, respectively.
conclusionsThis study showed differences between the claimed and measured fluoride and silver ion concentrations in 4 common 38% SDF products, which were alkaline with a pH value of 9.
