Influence of surface treatment by laser irradiation on bacterial adhesion on surfaces of titanium implants and their alloys: Systematic review.
Review in The Saudi dental journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Objective: The aim of this systematic review was to present the current knowledge on the influence of laser surface treatment on the adhesion of bacteria to titanium and its alloys. Design: This review was structured according to PRISMA guidelines for systematic reviews and Results: Most of the studies evaluated showed that surface treatment by laser irradiation can affect the adhesion of bacteria to titanium surfaces and that this is directly related to changes in surface properties such as chemical composition, morphology, roughness, and wettability, as well as the type of bacterial species involved. Conclusions: The studies considered in this systematic review have shown that surface treatment by laser irradiation is a promising technique to reduce the adhesion of bacteria on the surface of titanium implants.
