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
Purpose: The Canary Caries Detection System has been shown to quantify the degree of demineralization of incipient enamel. The objective of this study was to evaluate and compare demineralization changes after applying various toothpastes on incipient enamel lesions utilizing the Canary Caries Detection System. Materials and methods: Thirty-five extracted human teeth premolars were divided into seven groups (n=5). Each group was demineralized in a lactate acid buffer solution (pH 4.5) and tested using one of six toothpastes or a phosphate buffer solution (control, pH 7.4). The teeth were brushed according to manufacturer's instructions daily for 28 days. Canary Numbers, standardized cold light, and fluorescent photographs were collected at the initial (T0), following demineralization (T1), day 14 (T2), and day 28 (T3). Results: It was found that there was a statistical difference between all groups and the control between T2-T3 (p<0.046 facial surfaces) and T1-T3 (p<0.015 lingual surfaces). There was also a statistical difference between T1-T3 when comparing all groups. The cold light and fluorescent light photos also show evidence of changes in demineralization from T1-T3 in the PreviDent 5000 Plus group. Conclusion: The PreviDent 5000 Plus group demonstrated a statistical difference to Clinpro 5000, MI Paste Plus and PreviDent 5000 Booster Plus from T1-T3 as the Canary Numbers decreased. There was an increase and significant difference in the PBS group Canary Numbers from T1-T3, indicating the negative control showed continued demineralization.
