Microbial Evaluation of Plaque on Conventional Stainless Steel Crown and Titanium-coated Stainless Steel Crown on Primary Molars.

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
Introduction: The extensive plaque formation on dental restoratives may contribute to secondary caries or periodontal inflammation. Therefore, it is important to know how different types of dental restoratives may prevent or promote the accumulation of microorganisms. Hence, this study aims to evaluate the oral hygiene and microbial adhesion on the titanium (Ti)-coated stainless steel crown (Ti-coated SSC) and conventional SSC on a primary molar. Materials and methods: A total of 15 children aged 4-10 years who visited the Department of Pediatric and Preventive Dentistry and required performed crowns were selected for the study. The tooth was randomly restored with Ti-coated on one side SSC and conventional SSC on the other side. The subgingival plaque samples were taken from the lingual and buccal surfaces using Gracey Curette before and immediately after the cementation of crowns and after 1 week. The plaque index (PI) (PI, modified Silness, and Loe) was also recoded. The plaque samples were incubated in mitis salivarius bacitracin agar, and the total number of Results: The test results showed a statistically significant difference in the microbial count expressed in CFU and PI (PI, modified Silness, and Loe PI) between Ti-coated SSC and conventional SSC after 1 week of crown placement.
