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: Dental bleaching is not recommended on teeth with enamel caries. Aim: The study aimed to assess the efficacy of in-office bleaching on demineralized enamel managed by resin infiltration (RI) as well as casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP). Methodology: Forty-eight sound enamel specimens were divided into four groups based on the surface treatment performed before in-office bleaching. Group I consisted of no caries and no treatment (NT); Group II had artificial caries (AC) and NT; Group III had AC treated with RI, and Group IV had AC remineralized with CPP-ACP. Pre- and postbleaching teeth color and surface topography were evaluated using spectrophotometer and scanning electron microscope (SEM), respectively. Statistical Analysis Used: One-way analysis of variance and Tukey's Results: The color change postbleaching was the least in Group IV; and this was significantly less than Group I ( Conclusion: RI can be considered a treatment modality for teeth with enamel caries requiring tooth whitening as the bleaching efficiency was like that of sound enamel.
