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: Dental caries, commonly known as tooth decay is a widespread oral health problem mainly attributed to the activity of cariogenic bacteria, such as Aim: This study aims to analyze the effect of Tooth Mousse and medicated toothpastes on Methodology: Results and Discussion: The antimicrobial activity was evaluated by measuring the diameter of zones of inhibition (mm). The toothpaste containing fluoride (A) showed greater zone of inhibition compared to herbal toothpaste (B) whereas Tooth Mousse (C) did not show any zone of inhibition. Conclusion: Among herbal and fluoride toothpaste, fluoride containing toothpaste showed more zone of inhibition thereby attributing to its increased antimicrobial property on S. mutans and L. acidophilus.
