Probiotics to reduce microbiota-related dental stains: A potential approach.
Article in Journal of dental sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Adult extrinsic black stains on teeth, caused by bacterial colonization, impact aesthetics and confidence. Conventional treatments can be abrasive and have a high recurrence rate. This pilot case study explores probiotics as an adjunctive approach. Direct application of probiotic powder over the black stains of the teeth was carried out prior to routine home care. Results showed black stain removal was possible with tooth brush and dental floss. Saliva and biofilm samples were analyzed via 16S rRNA sequencing. Microbiome revealed a noticeable reduction in
