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

White spot lesions (WSLs) present as color abnormalities on the tooth surface and represent early signs of demineralization beneath intact enamel, potentially affecting patients' aesthetics and self-confidence. Management strategies for WSLs include remineralization using casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) pastes or topical fluoride applications, microabrasion with an 18% hydrochloric acid and pumice mixture, and resin infiltration. Resin infiltration is a minimally invasive aesthetic treatment for WSLs, though multiple factors may influence the final aesthetic outcome. This paper reports three cases of white spot lesions treated with resin infiltration and discusses the factors that may affect treatment efficacy. Clinical Relevance: Resin infiltration is a clinically effective method for caries lesions classified as ICDAS 2-3. While white spot lesions can be treated with resin infiltration, not all cases achieve satisfactory aesthetic results. Successful implementation requires careful case selection, adherence to standardized protocols, and appropriate follow-up.
