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.

Abstract

Assessing parental aesthetic acceptability of Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) staining is crucial for its potential implementation in paediatric dentistry in different regions. This study aimed to compare aesthetic perceptions and acceptance of SDF staining between Spanish and Italian parents, and assess weather acceptability is influenced by location, child's cooperation, or demographic background. A cross-sectional comparative study was conducted among Spanish and Italian parents at three university dental clinics, using a validated Italian version of the questionnaire "Parental perceptions of Silver Diamine Fluoride Dental Color Changes". 264 Spanish and 234 Italian parents participated in the survey. 41.8% of Spanish parents, compared to 65.4% of Italians, considered staining on posterior teeth acceptable (p < 0.001). 17.2% of Spaniards rated anterior teeth acceptable, versus 19.3% of Italians (p < 0.001). Italian parents showed increased acceptability as child's cooperation decreased. Acceptability levels in Spain remained more homogeneous, despite linear mixed model identifying a significant increase in acceptability scores from 'collaboration' to 'non-collaboration' scenario. Spanish and Italian parents found SDF staining on posterior teeth more acceptable than on anterior regions. Level of acceptance increased with child's uncooperative behavior. Spanish parents generally demonstrated a lower acceptance of SDF pigmentation compared to Italians.Trial registration: NCT, NCT06384326.
