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: The emergence of resistance, side effects, and the high cost of drugs indicates a need for other therapeutic alternatives with similar properties but fewer side effects. Purpose: The present study aims to compare the antimicrobial effect of atorvastatin and nano-atorvastatin mouthwash on Materials and Method: In this Results: The results of the well diffusion test showed that the diameter of the non-growth halo of chlorhexidine, atorvastatin, and nano-atorvastatin was 27, 18, and 12mm, respectively. The diameter of the halo of non-growth among different substances was statistically significant ( Conclusion: The present study suggests strong antimicrobial activity of atorvastatin and nano-atorvastatin against
