Effect of intensive application of self-assembling peptide P11-4 with fluoride, casein phosphopeptide amorphous calcium phosphate fluoride and sodium fluoride on streptococcus mutans level in preschool children: a randomized controlled clinical trial.
Trial report in Clinical oral investigations, 2025. 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
objectivesTo compare the effect of self-assembling peptide P11-4 with fluoride, casein phosphopeptide amorphous calcium phosphate fluoride (CPP-ACPF) varnish and 5% sodium fluoride varnish (NaF), on Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) in dental plaque of preschoolers in addition to assessing change in plaque index after their intensive application.
methodsSixty-six preschoolers were randomly assigned into three groups to receive triple applications of P11-4 with fluoride, CPP-ACPF varnish or NaF. S. mutans count in supragingival plaque samples was assessed at baseline (T0) and after the third application by 48 h (T1), one month (T2) and 3 months (T3). Multivariable linear regression compared the effect of these materials on S. mutans log count at various time intervals. Baseline plaque index was compared to that at T2 and T3.
resultsAll study groups presented a significant decrease in S. mutans count at T1, T2 and T3. Multivariable linear regression demonstrated a significant more reduction in S. mutans count in CPP-ACPF and NaF groups when compared to P11-4 with fluoride at T1. At T2 and T3, CPP-ACPF showed superior reduction in bacterial count than NaF and P11-4 with fluoride, with no significant difference between the latter two materials. Plaque index was significantly reduced at all study groups at T2 and T3, with CPP-ACPF being the most proficient.
conclusionCPP-ACPF presented superior antibacterial effect when compared to P11-4 with fluoride or NaF which exhibited comparable antibacterial effect. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Different remineralizing agents can have additive antibacterial effect against S. mutans that affects individual's future caries experience.
