Remineralization Effect of Zamzam Water on Initial Artificial Carious Lesion of Permanent Teeth.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
introductionChemical testing showed that Zamzam water is completely safe to drink and has health benefits due to its high percentage of sodium, calcium, magnesium, and many other minerals. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the remineralization effect of Zamzam water on extracted premolars using the Vickers Microhardness test.
methodsTeeth samples (N=40) with artificially induced carious lesions were divided randomly into four groups: Study group (I) treated with agitated Zamzam water (n=10), study group (II) treated with non-agitated Zamzam water (n=10), control positive group (III) treated with sodium fluoride (n=10), and control negative group (IV) treated with deionized water (n=10). Teeth were subjected to microhardness testing before and after artificial demineralization and after remineralization treatment within the four groups.
resultsFollowing treatment with different solutions in both study and control groups, there was an increase in microhardness after remineralization but with varying degrees. The highest increase in microhardness was shown after remineralization with sodium fluoride followed by agitated Zamzam water.
conclusionZamzam water with agitation causes an increase in the microhardness of the enamel surface after demineralization. Zamzam water is an effective remineralizing agent in initial carious lesions, and its efficacy is comparable to that of sodium fluoride.
