Protective Effect of Hemoglobin Treatment with Sodium Trimetaphosphate on Enamel Erosion: in vitro study.
Article in Brazilian dental journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of hemoglobin (Hb) in combination with different concentrations of sodium trimetaphosphate (STMP) on initial enamel erosion in vitro. Ninety bovine enamel samples (4X4mm) were prepared and divided into six groups (n/group=15), according to the treatments: 1) Deionized water (negative control); 2) Commercial solution Elmex Erosion Protection® ; 3) 1.0 mg/mL Hb; 4) 1.0 mg/mL Hb+0.5% STMP; 5) 1.0 mg/mL Hb+1.0% STMP; 6) 1.0 mg/mL Hb+3.0% STMP. The samples were treated with the respective solutions (250µL, 2h, 37ºC, constant agitation), and the acquired enamel pellicle was formed for 2h using pooled stimulated human saliva. Subsequently, the samples underwent an erosive challenge with 0.01 M HCl (pH 2.3, for 10 seconds) to simulate intrinsic erosion. These procedures were performed once/day for 3 consecutive days. Demineralization was assessed by percentage surface hardness change (%SHC) and the relative surface reflection intensity (%SRI) by the Reflectometer Optipen. Data were analyzed by ANOVA and Tukey's tests (p < 0.05). The negative control exhibited significantly less protection for both variables compared to the other groups. Regarding %SHC, the most effective treatments were 1.0 mg/mL Hb + 0.5% STMP and 1.0 mg/mL Hb + 1.0% STMP, which surpassed all other groups, including the positive control. The best protection for %SRI was observed with 1.0 mg/mL Hb. These results suggest that combining Hb with an inorganic component may support the development of strategies to prevent intrinsic enamel erosion.
