Evaluation of the masking efficacy of caries infiltration in post-orthodontic initial caries lesions: 1-year follow-up.
Article in Clinical oral investigations, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
objectivesThis study aimed to qualitatively and quantitatively assess the masking efficacy and color stability of resin infiltration on post-orthodontic ICL after 1 year. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn 17 adolescents, 112 ICL (ICDAS-1: n = 1; ICDAS-2: n = 111) in 112 teeth were treated by resin infiltration (Icon, DMG) 3 to 12 months after bracket removal. The etching procedure was performed up to 3 times. Standardized digital images were taken before treatment (T
resultsThe median color difference (25
conclusionResin infiltration efficaciously masked post-orthodontic ICL 7 days and 12 months after treatment. These results for most of the teeth could not only be observed by quantitative but also by qualitative analysis. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Resin infiltration efficaciously masks post-orthodontic initial carious lesions. The optical improvement can be observed directly after treatment and remains stable for at least 12 months.
