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

Functional foods incorporating probiotics, essential oils, and DHA, PhosphatidylSerine have been explored as innovative approaches to improving oral health. This study evaluates the effects of consuming two versus five HETAFU candies daily on oral microbial levels over eight weeks. To compare the impact of moderate (two candies/day) and higher (five candies/day) HETAFU candy consumption on oral microbial populations, focusing on Streptococcus mutans, Lactobacillus, Actinomycetes, and Candida. A total of 200 participants were randomly divided into two groups: Group 1 consumed two candies daily, and Group 2 consumed five candies daily. Microbial levels were measured at baseline, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks using microbiological techniques. Statistical analysis included
