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

Background: Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) application without removing necrotic tissue is an applicable non-invasive measure to primary care practice and may reduce the burden of untreated root caries. This study aims to examine clinical feature change, root caries-related bacteria, and silver penetration of SDF in arresting root caries. Material and Methods: Ten study participants with 16 root carious teeth were included in this study. The clinical characteristics of root caries lesions (plaque deposit, color, hardness, and sensitivity symptom) were recorded. Then root caries samples were collected using a spoon excavator before and 2 weeks after treated with 38% SDF. The amounts of Results: Most treated samples were darker in color, predominantly turning black (n =15, 93.8%), had increased surface hardness (n =11, 68.8%), were non-sensitive teeth (n=14, 87.5%), and were negative to air blowing (n =12, 75%). Only Conclusions: Based on clinical and microbiological profiles, this investigation indicated that SDF is beneficial for controlling root caries, particularly
