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

Dental fluorosis (DF) is a common endemic disease that damages dental enamel. Traditionally, DF has been attributed to environmental fluoride overload. Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that genetic factors also modulate individual susceptibility. No dedicated fluoride ion channels have been identified in mammalian cells; fluoride uptake is believed to occur mainly through passive diffusion of HF and nonspecific anion pathways, including chloride channels. Different types of chloride channels are expressed in dental tissues, such as CFTR and voltage-gated chloride channels (ClCs), but it remains unknown whether these channels transport fluoride and whether their variants influence DF risk. This study combined human population-based investigations, mouse and zebrafish models, and in vitro experiments to confirm the significant genetic association of
