Enamel demineralization and remineralization pH cycling models in vitro: a SEM-EDX and FTIR study.

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
The aim of the present study was to investigate the efficiency of pH cycling models to induce enamel experimental subsurface lesions and to enhance enamel remineralization in vitro. Enamel blocks (n = 50) were obtained from the buccal surface of human permanent incisors and canines and assigned to five independent groups (n = 10/gp). In Group D1, enamel blocks were subjected to a demineralizing solution, and in Group D2 a demineralization pH cycling model was used to induce an experimental subsurface lesion. In Group R, enamel blocks with subsurface-induced lesions were treated with fluoride varnish and submitted to a remineralization pH cycling model. Enamel blocks were investigated with scanning electron microscope-energy-dispersive X-ray (SEM-EDX) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Quantitative data were statistically analyzed (repeated measures ANOVA, Bonferroni, p < 0.05). EDX revealed significant differences with respect to atomic percentage (At%) of calcium, phosphate, fluorine (F), carbon, and oxygen between groups (p < 0.05; repeated measures ANOVA). Group R revealed the highest F (At%) on the enamel surface (0.71 ± 0.2) (p < 0.05). FTIR revealed variations in PO
