Application of Silver Nanoparticles to Improve the Antibacterial Activity of Orthodontic Adhesives: An In Vitro Study.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
There is a significant change in the bacterial plaque populations in the oral cavity during and after orthodontic treatment. Numerous studies have demonstrated that 2−96% of patients could increase the risk of white spot lesions. Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacilli ssp. are responsible for these white spot lesions. In this work, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) with a diameter of 11 nm and dispersed in water were impregnated onto three different commercial orthodontic adhesives at 535 μg/mL. The shear bond strength (SBS) was assessed on 180 human premolars and metallic brackets. The premolars were divided into six groups (three groups for the commercial adhesives and three groups for the adhesives with AgNPs). All the groups were tested for their bactericidal properties, and their MIC, MBC, and agar template diffusion assays were measured. After adding AgNPs, the SBS was not significantly modified for any adhesive (p > 0.05), and the forces measured during the SBS did not exceed the threshold of 6 to 8 MPa for clinical acceptability in all groups. An increase in the bactericidal properties against both S. mutans and L. acidophilus was measured when the adhesives were supplemented with AgNPs. It was concluded that AgNPs can be supplement commercial orthodontic adhesives without modifying their mechanical properties with improved bactericidal activity.
