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

introductionDental erosion has a great effect on oral health, when diagnosed it is irreversible, this sets the importance of different preventive measures being investigated against dental erosion.

aimThis in vitro study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of silver diamine fluoride and Potassium iodide (SDF-KI) in comparison to casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate fluoride (CPP-ACPF) varnish, sodium fluoride (NaF) varnish, silver diamine fluoride (SDF) alone and deionized water as a control group in the prevention of dental erosion in primary teeth and assessing its staining effect. MATERIALS AND

methodsForty deciduous teeth enamel specimens were randomly allocated into the five study groups. Tested materials were applied. An erosive challenge was done by immersing the specimens in a citric acid-containing soft drink with pH 2.85, for 5 min, 4 times/day, for 5 days. Changes in surface microhardness, mineral loss, and color change were evaluated besides recording of the surface topography and surface roughness for selected specimens.

resultsThe highest decrease in surface microhardness was recorded in the control group (-85.21 ± 10.60%), with a statistically significant difference (p = 0.002). SDF-KI group (-61.49 ± 21.08%) showed no statistically significant difference when compared to CPP-ACPF, NaF, and SDF groups. For calcium and phosphorous loss, control group was statistically significantly higher compared to the treatment groups (p = 0.003) and (p < 0.001) respectively, while there was no statistically significant difference between the tested treatment groups. The highest mean value for color change was recorded in SDF group (26.26 ± 10.31), followed by SDF-KI group (21.22 ± 12.87) with no statistically significant difference between groups.

conclusionsSDF-KI is as effective as CPP-ACPF, NaF varnishes and SDF in the prevention of dental erosion in primary teeth, there was no statistically significant difference regarding its staining potential.
