Recent advances in antibacterial coatings for orthodontic appliances.
Review in Frontiers in bioengineering and biotechnology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
In the process of orthodontic treatment, the presence of orthodontic appliances makes it difficult to clean tooth surfaces. This can lead to an increased level of bacterial colonization, resulting in enamel demineralization and periodontal diseases. Considering the large surface area that orthodontic appliances usually have and that they can be in direct contact with bacteria throughout the treatment, modifications in the form of coatings on the surface of orthodontic appliances can be an effective and practical approach to reducing bacterial proliferation and preventing relevant adverse effects. In this mini-review, we discuss various antibacterial coatings which have been applied onto orthodontic appliances in recent 5 years, as well as their antibacterial mechanisms and methods for the preparation of these coatings. From this mini-review, both orthodontists and researchers can get the latest findings in the field of antibacterial coatings onto orthodontic appliances, which is helpful for the decision-making in clinical practice and research activities.
