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

Background/purpose: Toothpaste plays an important role in brushing teeth to maintain oral hygiene and health. The purpose of this study was to develop a new toothpaste containing surface nanocrystal-rich dicalcium phosphate anhydrous (DCPA) powder and to investigate its effect on tooth samples. Materials and methods: The innovative toothpaste (REALCaP®/Group R) was compared with two commercial toothpastes (BioRepair®/Group B and Sensodyne®/Group S). Brushing cycle tests were performed on bovine tooth slices coated with individual toothpaste and a control group without toothpaste (Group C). Microhardness, roughness, surface structure observation, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were performed on cycle days 4, 7, and 14 to analyze the impact of the toothpastes on tooth samples. Reults: Microhardness in the Group R was higher than that of the other groups regardless of the cycle days. Roughness in the Group R increased on days 4 and 7 but decreased on day 14. Roughness in the groups S and B increased with days. Microstructural observation revealed that most exposed dentinal tubules had been sealed in the Group R on day 14. Overlay thickness in the Group R was significantly higher than that in the groups S and B on days 4, 7, and 14. XRD analysis showed no hydroxyapatite (HA) peak in the Group S. The HA peak in the Group R was higher than that in the Group B on day 14. Conclusion: The innovative toothpaste has better properties than the commercially available products in terms of microhardness, roughness, and effectiveness in sealing dentinal tubules.
