Article in Journal of conservative dentistry and endodontics, 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
Context: Dental caries remains a global health concern. While various prophylactic agents, including probiotics and other compounds, have been used, the search for effective natural solutions continues. Herbal products are valued for their anticariogenic properties. Mouthwashes help prevent bad breath, decay, and dry mouth. NaF rinse aids remineralization. This study explores the safety and efficacy of mango twigs, orange peel, and coconut oil as sustainable alternatives. Aim: This study aimed to compare the anticariogenic effects of sodium fluoride, xylitol, probiotics, and various herbal extracts on Materials and Methods: A microbiological assay assessed the zone of inhibition against Statistical Analysis Used: Analysis of variance with Tukey's Results: Extracts from orange peel and mango twigs had notable antibacterial activity, unlike VCO, probiotics, and xylitol, which showed little to no effect. Conclusions: Within this study's limits, ethanolic orange peel extract showed the strongest antimicrobial effect, followed by 0.2% NaF, mango twig extract, VCO, probiotics, and xylitol in decreasing order.
