Application of antimicrobial sonodynamic therapy as a potential treatment modality in dentistry: A literature review.
Review in Journal of dental sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
The accumulation of dental plaque is a precursor to various dental infections, including lesions, inflammation around dental implants, and inflammation under dentures. Traditional cleaning methods involving physical removal and chemical agents often fall short of eliminating bacteria and their protective biofilms. These methods can also inadvertently lead to bacteria that resist drugs and upset the mouth's microbial harmony. To counter these issues, a new approach is needed that can target and clear away dental plaque, minimize biofilms and bacteria, and thus support sustained dental health. Enter antimicrobial sonodynamic therapy (aSDT), a supplementary treatment that uses gentle ultrasound waves to trigger a sonosensitizer compound, destroying bacterial cells. This process works by generating heat, mechanical pressure, initiating chemical reactions, and producing reactive oxygen species (ROS), offering a fresh tactic for managing dental plaque and biofilms. The study reviews how aSDT could serve as an innovative dental treatment option to enhance oral health.
