Efficacy of different remineralizing agents on primary teeth exposed to therapeutic gamma radiation: An in vitro randomized control study.
Article in The Saudi dental journal, 2024. 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: Therapeutic radiation-induced caries is a major side effect. Dental and oral heath are adversely affected by the direct effects of radiotherapy. Preventive procedures are preferred to reinforce dental tissue resistance against radiation damage. Objective: Research aim is to test the impact of different remineralizing protocols on the mineral content of deciduous enamel exposed to a therapeutic dose of gamma radiation. Methods: Thirty deciduous enamel specimens were divided randomly into three experimental categories based on the type of remineralizing agent used. Results: Calcium/Phosphorus (Ca/P) ratio and Fluoride content decreased significantly after radiotherapy. Fluoride content significantly increased after remineralizing agents' application with the greatest increase in Bioactive glass group followed by fluoride varnish (F.varnish) group and the least increase was in diode laser group. Significant increase in Ca/P ratio in bioactive glass group followed by insignificant increase in F.varnish group (I) with the least increase noticed in the Diode laser group. Conclusion: Therapeutic radiation caused marked decrease in enamel mineral content. However, the reminralizing agents applied have an improving effect on the caused damage.
