Antibacterial effect of titanium oxide and cobalt-doped zinc ferrite coated stainless steel orthodontic brackets against
Article in Biomaterial investigations in dentistry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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: White spot lesions (WSL), plaque buildup, and poor oral hygiene are all consequences of the intricate bracket patterns found in fixed orthodontic treatment. Therefore, coatings made of titanium oxide (TiO Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate and compare the antibacterial effects of TiO Materials and methods: The study was conducted as two main groups: a TiO Statistical analysis: Results were analyzed within groups using one-way ANOVA, followed by Results: In their respective groups, the TiO Conclusion: In this study, both TiO
