Keratin-based protection of enamel against acid-erosion.
Article in Frontiers in dental medicine, 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
Enamel erosion is a prevalent and growing oral health concern, affecting approximately 20%-45% of the adult population, with incidence expected to increase. Current preventative strategies rely predominantly on fluoride-based interventions, which, while effective, are not without limitations, particularly in the context of erosive challenges. Consequently, there is an increasing interest in alternative or adjunctive approaches for protecting enamel against acid-induced damage. This study investigated the protective potential of a keratin-based surface treatment against acid-induced enamel erosion and compared its performance with sodium fluoride at clinically relevant concentrations. Enamel specimens from extracted human molars were treated with keratin, sodium fluoride (1,450, 5,000, or 22,600 ppm), artificial saliva, or deionised water, and subsequently exposed to citric or hydrochloric acid under
