1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

The teeth of limbed vertebrates used for capturing and processing food are composed of mineralized dentine covered by hypermineralized enamel, the hardest material organisms produce. Here, we combine scanning probe microscopy, depth sensing, and spectromicroscopy (SR-FTIR) to characterize the surface ultrastructural topography, nanotribology, and chemical compositions of mammal species with different dietary habits, including omnivorous humans. Our synergistic approach shows that enamel with greater surface hardness or thickness exhibited a more salient gradient feature from the tooth surface to the dentino-enamel junction (DEJ) one that corresponds to the
