Application of an MTT-Based Colorimetric Assay to Evaluate SHED Metabolites in Inhibiting Oral Bacteria Growth.
Article in European journal of 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
Objective: Dental caries and periodontitis are among the most prevalent oral diseases, primarily caused by Materials and Methods: Hydrogels were combined with SHED metabolites and/or HA, then applied to bacterial cultures. Viability was assessed via MTT assay and absorbance was measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay reader. Statistical Analysis: Data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Welch ANOVA ( Results: The group treated with hydrogel + HA + SHED metabolites (K4) showed the lowest bacterial viability across all strains, with statistically significant differences ( Conclusion: Hydrogels combined with SHED metabolites and HA demonstrate promising antibacterial properties and may serve as effective agents in preventing oral infections.
