Evaluation of salivary parameters and remineralizing effects of yogurt in counteracting the cariogenic impact of candy consumption: An in vivo study.
Article in Journal of oral biology and craniofacial research. 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: The consumption of sugary snacks like candies alters the oral environment, increasing the risk of dental caries. This study evaluates changes in salivary pH, calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase, and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) following the consumption of candies and yogurt. Aim: To compare the impact of candies on the oral environment and assess the effectiveness of rinsing with water versus consuming yogurt in reversing cariogenic changes in saliva. Materials and methods: Baseline saliva samples (5 mL) were collected from 60 children. Participants consumed candies, and saliva was collected 10 min post-consumption. They were divided into two groups: Group 1 rinsed with water, and Group 2 consumed yogurt. Saliva samples were collected at 10, 20 and 30 min post-intervention and analyzed for pH, calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase, and TAC. Data were analyzed using paired t-tests and post hoc Tukey tests. Results: Candy consumption significantly decreased pH, calcium, phosphorus, and alkaline phosphatase levels (p < 0.001) and increased TAC levels (p < 0.001). Both water rinsing and yogurt consumption reversed these changes. Yogurt showed superior remineralization, with pH, calcium, phosphorus, and alkaline phosphatase levels returning to baseline more effectively than water rinsing (p < 0.001 for all comparisons). TAC levels were also restored more quickly with yogurt (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Candy consumption induces a cariogenic environment. Both water rinsing and yogurt consumption effectively reversed these effects, with yogurt showing enhanced remineralization potential.
