1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Objectives: Incipient enamel caries, known as white spot lesions (WSLs), can be prevented or halted with proper oral hygiene, diet control, and application of remineralizing agents such as silver diamine fluoride (SDF); however, dark staining is a major drawback of SDF. This study aimed to compare the effects of at-home and in-office bleaching on SDF-induced staining of WSLs. Materials and Methods: In this in vitro study, 44 bovine central incisors were randomly assigned to 2 groups ( Results: Lesion depth did not significantly affect early-stage discoloration ( Conclusion: Both at-home and in-office bleaching can lighten dark lesions caused by SDF after remineralization, although they may not fully restore tooth color to normal. In-office bleaching led to significantly greater color improvement than at-home bleaching in superficial lesions.
