Effect of low-level diode laser on
Article in Journal of oral biology and craniofacial research. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Introduction: Caries lesions are high prevalent dental infectious. Gram-positive bacteria are the most common pathogenic microorganisms causing caries lesions. Low-Level laser therapy has been shown to have a significant bactericidal effect without causing damage to the oral tissues. This study was designed to evaluate the efficacy of diode laser (980 nm) at different times and doses on Methods: This study was performed on two groups of microorganisms, including Results: A significant decrease in CFUs/ml of two microorganisms was observed immediately and 24 h after irradiation (p-value < 0.05). The most effective laser radiation for Conclusion: In the present study, we demonstrated that diode laser (980 nm) has great efficacy in the growth reduction of
