The Influence of Erosive and Abrasive Effects of Interdental Brushing on Bovine Enamel and Dentine In Vitro.

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
purposeTo investigate the effects on enamel and dentine caused by erosion with hydrochloric acid (HCl) or abrasion with interdental brushes and toothpaste, and a combined protocol using roughness and profilometry measurements as well as scanning electron microscopy images. MATERIALS AND
methods24 bovine enamel samples and 24 dentine samples were divided into three groups each (groups 1-3: enamel; groups 4-6: dentin; n = 8) and investigated after an abrasion protocol (2 × 10 brushing cycles per day) in groups 1 and 4, a combined protocol (10 brushing cycles, 10 × 2min erosion in HCl, 10 brushing cycles per day) in groups 2 and 5 and an erosion protocol (10 × 2min erosion in HCl) in groups 3 and 6 for 10 days. Profilometry and roughness measurements were registered at baseline, after 5 and after 10 days. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images were recorded at baseline and after 10 days.
resultsFor enamel, the significantly highest substance loss (mean ± SD) after 5 days was observed in the combined group (10.71 ± 0.41 μm), whereas the second highest substance loss was in the erosion-only group (9.16 ± 0.23 μm). In dentin, the highest substance loss after 5 days occurred in the combined group (7.4 ± 0.83 μm), and the second highest substance loss was presented in the erosion-only group (7.26 ± 0.5 μm). After 10 days, the combined group (18.88 ± 0.56 μm) exhibited the highest substance loss in enamel, showing a statistically significant difference compared with the erosion-only and abrasion-only groups (P 0.001, respectively). In dentin, the highest substance loss was observed after 10 days in the erosion-only group (7.96 ± 0.8 μm), exhibiting a statistically significant difference compared to both the combined (P = 0.022) and abrasion-only groups (P 0.001).
conclusionIn all groups, with the exception of abrasion-only groups, enamel substance loss occurred. Thus, measures against erosive and abrasive wear, both alone and combined, have to be implemented, such as comprehensive patient education.
