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

Aim: The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the effect of nanosilver fluoride (NSF), chlorhexidine (CHX), and sodium fluoride (NaF) when used as a varnish on Study design: A total of 120 children (age range 8-12 years) with incipient caries were randomly assigned to four groups ( Results: By the end of 3 months, a statistically significant reduction in plaque CFU and salivary CFU was found in group II. At the conclusion of the 3 months, group I had the greatest decrease in OHI-S. After 3 months, the plaque CFU score did not differ significantly across groups I, II, and III. However, a statistically significant difference in OD values ( Conclusion: Children with early caries can effectively lower their How to cite this article: Raja T, Agarwal N, Jabin Z,
