The growth and dissolution of sodium fluoride hopper crystals.
Article in JADA foundational science, 2023. 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
Background: Caries is still prevalent despite the current understanding and use of fluoride. Faster-dissolving crystals of sodium fluoride (NaF) in a fluoride treatment could improve the efficacy of current preventative approaches. Methods: In this study, crystals of NaF with a high surface area-to-volume ratio were prepared by adding an aqueous solution of NaF to an ethanol-water antisolvent mixture. Dissolution of these high surface area to volume crystals was measured using a conductivity probe. Results: Key variables in the preparation of hopper crystals included the amount of water in the antisolvent, the ratio of NaF solution to antisolvent, and the rate of stirring. The dissolution rate of these crystals was significantly greater than NaF crystals produced without a hopper morphology. Conclusions: Including NaF hopper crystals in fluoride treatments could increase the bioavailability of fluoride from a fluoride treatment and potentially improve the remineralization of enamel.
