Evaluation of a novel caries detecting oral rinse.
Article in BDJ open, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06761248 (Clinical Effectiveness of Fluorescent Starch Nanoparticles Caries Detection Rinse Versus International Caries Detection and Assessment System for Detection of Early Dental Caries in Children), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
aimLumiCare™ Caries Detection Rinse (LC Rinse), a starch-based rinse, illuminates active initial caries (positive response) using dental curing light, thus augmenting the dentist's visual examination. This clinical study investigated if active caries as assessed by the International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS) were more likely to have positive LC Rinse response than sound surfaces and inactive caries.
methods25 subjects participated in the study. Caries was assessed on selected teeth and the entire dentition, firstly using ICDAS and then by fluorescence evaluation after LC Rinse application. Data were statistically analyzed using Diagnostic Odds Ratio (OR) and Chi-square test X
resultsWith selected teeth, active caries were 638.6 times (60.05 with full dentition) more likely to have positive LC Rinse response than sound surfaces and inactive caries combined (X
conclusionsLC Rinse can distinguish between active caries, inactive caries and hypomineralization, and can augment caries detection with high sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic accuracy.
