Improved Esthetics Using Silver Diamine Fluoride in the Management of Early Childhood Caries: A Case Series.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Dental caries prevention using an application of silver diamine fluoride (SDF) is an emerging advanced treatment modality in pediatric dentistry. However, a major drawback of SDF application is the black staining of carious lesions, which limits its clinical use due to esthetic concerns. Improving the esthetic outcome by reducing black staining would significantly enhance the opportunity for the universal use of SDF. This case series comprises three cases demonstrating the clinical success of using potassium iodide (KI) to reduce staining, followed by glass ionomer cement (GIC) restoration in primary molars. Upon 12-month follow-up visits, the treated teeth remained clinically asymptomatic, with esthetically acceptable restoration margins. Additionally, the esthetic results were acceptable to both parents and patients. The significance of utilizing KI and GIC following SDF application lies in their synergistic effect on masking discoloration resulting from SDF treatment while enhancing tooth functionality, thereby meeting patients' esthetic requirements and improving chewing efficiency.
