Impact of Photoactivated Disinfection on Dentin Permeability and Bacterial Eradication.
Article in Journal of pharmacy & bioallied 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
Background: The increasing prevalence of antibiotic resistance has necessitated the exploration of alternative antimicrobial approaches in dentistry. Photoactivated disinfection (PAD) has gained attention for its potential to reduce bacterial load and enhance dentin permeability in endodontic treatments. This study evaluates the impact of PAD on dentin permeability and its efficacy in eradicating bacterial pathogens. Materials and Methods: A total of 40 extracted human premolars were selected and standardized for this Results: Group C (PAD with methylene blue) showed a significant increase in dentin permeability (25 ± 5 units) compared with the control (10 ± 3 units, Conclusion: PAD is an effective adjunctive technique in endodontics, significantly improving dentin permeability and demonstrating superior bacterial eradication compared with conventional irrigation alone. These findings suggest that incorporating PAD could optimize clinical outcomes in root canal disinfection.
