Comparative Evaluation of Microbial Reduction Using Silver Diamine Fluoride,
Article in International journal of clinical pediatric dentistry, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: It is difficult to completely eradicate microorganisms from the infected root canal system. Intracanal irrigants seem necessary for eradication of infected tissues and microorganisms in addition to mechanical debridement. Continuous use of chemical antimicrobial agents leads to serious side effects. Therefore, the need arises for alternative agents to overcome the disadvantages of their chemical counterparts. Aim: To evaluate and compare the antimicrobial efficacy of three endodontic irrigants against clinically isolated bacteria found in root canals containing necrotic pulp. Materials and methods: Preirrigation sample were collected using sterile paper points and sent for microbial count. Chemomechanical preparation was performed, and the root canals were irrigated with 5 mL of test samples. After 3 days, the patient was recalled, and a postirrigation sample was collected and sent for microbial count. Result synthesis: Both 3.8% silver diamine fluoride (SDF) and 3% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) showed a superior capacity to sterilize the root canals compared to the neem group. Conclusion: The use of SDF as an endodontic irrigant is feasible as it effectively removes the microbes present in the canal. Clinical significance: Silver diamine fluoride has not been shown to be cytotoxic or carcinogenic, unlike NaOCl, suggesting it could be used as a potential endodontic irrigant. However, few studies have evaluated the antimicrobial efficacy of SDF as an endodontic irrigant. How to cite this article: Raj S, Sharma A, Dhinsa K,
