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

Aim and background: To compare surface microhardness of silver diamine fluoride (SDF)-treated dentin with CO Materials and methods: A total of 48 extracted carious primary molars were randomly divided into four groups: group I: silver diamine fluoride (SDF) group (received only SDF application), group II: received SDF followed by CO Results: The mean microhardness values for group I (baseline SDF), group II (CO Conclusion: Combining silver diamine fluoride (SDF) with CO₂ laser treatment significantly increases dentin microhardness, enhancing remineralization and caries resistance. This minimally invasive approach supports CO₂ lasers as a safe, effective adjunct to SDF in pediatric dentistry. Its subablative energy preserves surrounding tissues, aligning with evidence-based, conservative treatment practices. Clinical significance: Combining SDF with lasers, especially CO How to cite this article: Mareddy AR, Reddy VN, Rehaman T,
