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

Preservation of remaining dentin thickness (RDT) during cavity preparation is crucial for maintaining pulpal health. Laser technology has revolutionized modern dentistry by offering precise, minimally invasive treatment. Therefore, it is of interest to compare the effects of Er:YAG, Nd:YAG and diode lasers on remaining dentin thickness (RDT) and thermal damage during cavity preparation under standardized laboratory conditions.A total of 150 extracted human premolars were randomly divided into three groups. Pre- and post-operative RDT was assessed using a stereomicroscope and temperature rise was recorded with pulp chamber thermocouples. Histological evaluation with hematoxylin and eosin staining was performed to assess thermal effects. Er:YAG laser demonstrated superior conservation of dentin and minimal thermal damage, making it optimal for hard tissue applications. Nd:YAG and diode lasers exhibited higher thermal effects and reduced dentin preservation, suggesting caution in their use near the pulp.
