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

Introduction: Dental biofilms are associated with oral diseases such as periodontitis, peri-implantitis, halitosis, and tooth decay. These diseases are characterized by dysbiosis, an imbalance between the host and microbiome. Current treatments rely on the mechanical removal of the biofilm and suppressing the microbiome with broad spectrum antimicrobials. However, the antimicrobial componentseliminate bacteria nonselectively, which can also harm beneficial commensalbacteria. Pro-microbial strategies, particularly probiotics, hold promise forrebalancing the oral microbiome toward a symbiotic state rather than eradicatingit. Methods: In this study, Results: The results demonstrated that the antimicrobial effect of the selected toothpastes on the probiotics was concentration and strain dependent. The adhesion of probiotics to hydroxyapatite discs was inhibited by some toothpastes. However, compared with the control, the toothpastes did not influence Conclusion: In conclusion,
