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

Aims: To compare the remineralization potential of nanohydroxyapatite (nHA), fluoridated nano hydroxyapatite (NHA-F), nanosilver fluoride (NSF), bioactive glass (BAG), nanobioactive glass (nBAG), silver diamine fluoride (SDF), sodium fluoride (NaF), casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP), tricalcium phosphate (TCP) and fluoride in primary teeth. Materials and methods: This study has included articles from databases such as MEDLINE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), EMBASE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Scopus, ERIC, and ScienceDirect published until December 31, 2023. The search resulted in the display of 3086 articles, of which 1396 cited as duplicates were eliminated, eventually providing with 15 articles for review after being subjected to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Statistical analysis: The extracted data were analysed in qualitative and quantitative methods, along with the generation of forest plots using RevMan software version 5. The risk of bias was assessed using the QUIN tool. Results: 15 studies were included in the qualitative and 8 in the quantitative synthesis. The nHA vs Naf comparison resulted in pooled value [OR (CI)] 0.01 [95% CI (1.13 to 1.15)] Conclusions: This study concluded that the newer nanoparticulate and the nonfluoridated remineralizing agents are as effective as or more effective than other agents. Key messages: This study highlights the newer agents, such as nanoparticulate and nonfluoridated remineralizing agents' potential in comparison to other commonly used agents, and focuses more on remineralization of primary teeth as a preventive treatment option.
