Effect of Different Topical Fluorides on the Microhardness of Bleached Enamel:

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
Introduction: Esthetic dentistry plays an important role in providing several treatment options for tooth discoloration out of which the most common is tooth bleaching. Although it is less invasive and cost-effective but repeated bleaching could reduce the microhardness of enamel; this loss of microhardness after bleaching could be regained by incorporating topical fluoride agents. Objective: To analyze and compare the effect of fluoride and additional fluoride application on the microhardness of the enamel prior to and postbleaching. Materials and methods: Fifty sound extracted human premolars were divided into five groups and subjected to specific fluoride treatment pre- and postbleach period for 42 days. Microhardness of each specimen was recorded at baseline, 14th, 28th, and 42nd day. Results: An intergroup comparison of each enamel specimen at different timelines was done by analysis of variance (ANOVA) test. Intragroup comparison at baseline was done using a Conclusion: A significant increase in the microhardness of bleached enamel on fluoridated toothpaste application was observed. Further additional application of fluoride was not very effective when fluoridated toothpaste was used twice daily. How to cite this article: Das S, Jain M, Sogi HPS,
