Patient Comfort and Acceptance of Different Isolation Techniques for Silver Diamine Fluoride Application: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
Article in International journal of clinical pediatric dentistry, 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
Background: Efficient isolation is critical for effective silver diamine fluoride (SDF) application in pediatric dentistry. However, conventional methods like cotton roll isolation may be uncomfortable and compromise cooperation. This study compares patient comfort and acceptance of cotton roll, OpalDam, and OptraDam during SDF application. Aim: To evaluate and compare patient discomfort and satisfaction associated with cotton roll, OpalDam, and OptraDam isolation techniques during SDF application in primary mandibular molars of children. Materials and methods: Thirty-nine children aged 5-9 years were randomly allocated to cotton roll, OpalDam, or OptraDam isolation ( Results: Mean WBFPS scores differed significantly ( Conclusion: OpalDam and OptraDam provide superior patient comfort and acceptance compared to cotton roll isolation. OpalDam may be the preferred method for noninvasive pediatric procedures such as SDF application.
