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

Objectives: The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between fluoride concentration and mineral distribution within the dentinal lesion body. Methods: Remineralization of artificial deep dentinal lesions with various levels of fluoride was studied using a scanning electron microscope, microhardness tests, and polarized light microscope. Human molars were exposed to demineralization at pH 5.0 for 2 weeks. Then, they were divided into different groups for remineralization with different fluoride concentrations (0.1-10.0 ppm) for 1, 2, 3, and 4 weeks. Results: The results indicated a proportional relationship between fluoride concentration and dentinal lesion remineralization from 0.1 to 10.0 ppm. In the present study, the formation of a well-remineralized surface layer inhibited remineralization at the lesion front. On the other hand, the lesion front remineralization was found to be independent of fluoride concentration. Conclusion: Our results stated that for effective remineralization of dentinal lesions to the innermost part, fluoride levels from 1.0 to 5.0 ppm have the highest efficiency.
