Nanostructured Clays Used as Carriers for Controlled Delivery of Antibacterial Compounds From Direct Restorative Dental Materials: A Scoping Review.
Article in Clinical and experimental dental research, 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
objectiveThrough a scoping review, this study meticulously mapped and characterized these nanostructured clays used to release antibacterial active compounds from direct restorative dental materials. MATERIAL AND
methodsThe systematic approach involved searches in the PubMed/MEDLINE, Lilacs, Web of Science, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Embase databases. Two independent and calibrated researchers (kappa: 0.94) performed all systematic steps according to the PRISMA guideline and the Joanna Briggs Institute Scoping Review Methodology Group (JBI) protocol. The reviewers developed a data extraction table to gather key information.
resultsA total of 782 articles were retrieved in the initial search using the specified strategies. After thoroughly reviewing the manuscripts, five were selected following the exclusion of duplicates and application of eligibility criteria. Montmorillonite and halloysite nanotubes emerged as the predominant nanostructured clay. Cetylpyridinium chloride was the most common active agent, notable for its antibacterial properties. Resin-based composites were the most frequently studied direct restorative material for the prevention of recurrent caries.
conclusionAlthough the number of primary studies published in the literature was limited, montmorillonite and halloysite nanotubes appear to be promising nanocarriers for antibacterial active compounds in direct restorative dental materials.
