Nd: YAG laser in modern dentistry: Advances in periodontal, endodontic, and soft tissue therapeutics.
Article in Bioinformation, 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
The Nd: YAG laser has emerged as a versatile tool in dentistry due to its selective interaction with pigmented tissues and its relatively deep penetration into oral structures. Therefore, it is of interest to review the core mechanisms, key clinical applications in periodontics, endodontics, soft-tissue surgery and dentin hypersensitivity, as well as the safety principles governing responsible use. Evidence indicates significant reductions in bacterial load, improved hemostasis and patient comfort when parameters are calibrated appropriately. Important limitations include thermal risk, cost and a learning curve, reinforcing the need to integrate lasers with conventional techniques. Overall, Nd: YAG technology can enhance minimally invasive dental care when applied within evidence-based protocols.
