Effectiveness of Diode Lasers in the Reduction of Bacteremia Associated with Ultrasonic Scaling: A Clinical and Microbiological Study.
Article in Journal of pharmacy & bioallied sciences, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Introduction: As is known, periodontal pathogens and their products as well as inflammatory mediators produced in periodontal tissues might enter the bloodstream, causing systemic effects and/or contributing to systemic diseases. Aim: To evaluate the effect of diode lasers on the incidence of bacteremia associated with ultrasonic scaling and its clinical efficacy as an adjunct to scaling in the treatment of moderate periodontitis. Result: The use of diode laser is more effective in killing or detoxifying periodontopathic bacteria such as Conclusion: The results of study confirm the previously reported findings that bacteremia is caused by ultrasonic scaling and adjunct use of diode laser with scaling has the potential to reduce the bacteremia associated with ultrasonic scaling alone.
