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

Objective: Stannous has been shown to bind to free lipopolysaccharides, thus preventing them from binding to TLR receptors. This study was undertaken to determine the histomorphological mechanism of stannous binding to anaerobic bacteria. Methods: Two bacteria associated with gingivitis and advanced periodontal disease, Results: Stannous fluoride inhibited proliferation of both Conclusion: Stannous fluoride can penetrate bacteria, bind to the constituents of the membrane and form precipitates between outer and inner membranes and beneath inner membranes. These large precipitates damaged the integrity of membranes and allowed cytosolic contents to be leaked out. Stannous complexes formed at the outer membranes, even at low concentrations (25 μM).
