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

Deep carious lesions often threaten pulpal vitality and limited evidence exists regarding the pulpal response to 38% silver diamine fluoride (SDF) in primary and permanent molars. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate the pulpal response to 38% SDF in deep carious lesions of primary and permanent molars. Hence, a total of 70 molars (35 primary, 35 permanent) were treated with SDF following selective caries removal and monitored clinically and radiographically for 12 months. Most teeth maintained pulpal vitality, with overall success rates of 80% in primary molars and 85.7% in permanent molars. Failures were mainly associated with spontaneous pain or radiographic periapical changes during follow-up. Thus, we show that SDF is a minimally invasive and biologically compatible option for managing deep caries while preserving pulp vitality in both dentitions.
