Er: YAG laser and superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticle-modified adhesive: A comparative study on antimicrobial efficacy and bond strength in caries-affected dentin.
Article in Pakistan journal of medical sciences, 2026. 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
Objective: Evaluating the efficacy of various cavity sterilants (CHX and Er: YAG) laser on the Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) inhibition zone, resin tag length (RTL) and shear bond strength (SBS) of 5 Methodology: The present in vitro study was conducted for four months, from 1 Results: CHX and Er: YAG laser-treated Conclusion: Er: YAG laser appears to be an effective method for disinfecting CAD. Moreover, adhesives containing superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles demonstrated superior performance, enhancing both RTL and SBS.
