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

Background: Chlorhexidine (CHX) is widely used in oral care for its broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity but can cause significant side effects. Sodium DNA has emerged as a potential adjunct capable of modulating cellular responses. Aim: This study assessed whether sodium DNA enhances the antibacterial and antibiofilm activity of 0.20% and 0.12% CHX mouthwashes against Results: All CHX-containing mouthwashes were bactericidal against Conclusions: This study integrates antimicrobial, antibiofilm, cellular, and metabolomic analyses to assess CHX with sodium DNA. Sodium DNA reduces CHX-induced cytotoxicity and metabolic stress while maintaining antimicrobial activity, offering insights for optimizing oral hygiene formulations through combined microbial and host-cell evaluation.
