Evaluation of Surface Properties of Two Remineralizing Agents after Modification by Chitosan Nano Particles: An
Article in Contemporary clinical dentistry. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background: Calcium phosphate-based systems have been introduced as promising bio-mimetic materials due to their close resemblance to the enamel. Chitosan and its derivatives have been an emerging biomaterial due to their additional antibacterial effect and promising re-mineralizing ability. Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of chitosan nanoparticles on the remineralization of the demineralized enamel surface after being added to nano-hydroxyapatite and nano-calcium phosphate materials. Setting and Design: This was Materials and Methods: Twenty specimens of extracted permanent molars were collected, and then immersed in demineralizing solution, then distributed into four groups according to the remineralizing material. Group 1: Treated with Nano-beta-tricalcium phosphate (Nβ-TCP) gel, Group 2: Treated with Nβ-TCP with chitosan gel, Group 3: Treated with Nanohydroxyapatite (NHA) gel, and Group 4: Treated with NHA with chitosan gel. The surface hardness of the teeth was measured at baseline, after demineralization, and after remineralization. The structural changes in each group were analyzed using the scanning electron microscopy. Statistical Analysis: Shapiro-Wilk's test, one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey's Results: In all groups, there was a significant difference in mean Vickers hardness number (VHN) at different intervals, with the highest value found after treatment (301.64-395.65) VHN, followed by the baseline (236.97-276.15) VHN, while the lowest value was detected after demineralization (121.23-124.39) VHN. It was also indicated that baseline treatment, the Hardness percentage change (%) of the nano NHA + Chitosan group showed the highest significant value (55.10%), while the Nβ-TCP group exhibited the lowest significant value (9.56%). Conclusions: It can be concluded that NHA and NΒ-TCP modified by chitosan NPs as remineralizing agents of enamel surface hold promising results.
