Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) vs Nano-silver fluoride (NSF; with or without green tea extract)

Caries arrestment at the individual (patient) level · Children and adults with active dental caries (aged 1-50; mostly preschool/school children with primary dentition)

Pooling two trials, nano-silver fluoride achieved higher individual-level caries arrestment than SDF (OR 0.39 favoring the comparator; ungraded subgroup).

Pentoxifylline vs Placebo or no active treatment

Difficulty in swallowing (participant-reported proxy) · People of any age with a confirmed diagnosis, by clinical examination and biopsy, of oral submucous fibrosis (OSF)

Pentoxifylline led to lower difficulty in swallowing (participant-reported proxy) compared with placebo or no active treatment; GRADE not reported.

Adjunctive antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) applied after submucosal instrumentation (SI) vs Submucosal instrumentation (SI) alone, or SI plus placebo/sham aPDT

Change in probing pocket depth (PPD) · Adults (> 18 years) with peri-implant mucositis, receiving active treatment

Adjunctive antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) applied after… showed no clear difference in change in probing depth (PD/PPD) compared with submucosal instrumentation (SI) alone, or SI plus placebo/sham aPDT; GRADE not reported.

Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) vs Other methods (pooled: ART/glass ionomer cement, nano-silver fluoride, sodium fluoride varnish)

Caries arrestment at the tooth level · Children and adults with active dental caries (aged 1-50; mostly preschool/school children with primary dentition)

SDF probably results in a slight increase in tooth-level caries arrestment versus other methods (moderate certainty).

Pentoxifylline vs Placebo or no active treatment

Maximal mouth opening (interincisal distance) · People of any age with a confirmed diagnosis, by clinical examination and biopsy, of oral submucous fibrosis (OSF)

It is very uncertain whether pentoxifylline changes maximal mouth opening (interincisal distance) compared with placebo or no active treatment (very low certainty).

Withdrawals due to adverse events · patients with Crohn's disease (active disease population with clinical response at baseline)

It is very uncertain whether subcutaneous CT‐P13 and purine analogues changes withdrawal due to adverse events (at 30 weeks) compared with intravenous CT‐P13 and purine analogues (very low certainty).

Infliximab vs adalimumab

Loss of clinical response (at 22 weeks, less than 100 points in CDAI change) · patients with Crohn's disease (active disease population with clinical response at baseline)

It is very uncertain whether infliximab changes loss of clinical response (at 56 weeks, less than 100 points in CDAI… compared with adalimumab (very low certainty).

Mindfulness‐based interventions (MBIs) vs non‐active comparators

Clinical CVD events (CVD mortality and non‐fatal MI) · people at high risk of or withcardiovascular disease

It is very uncertain whether mindfulness‐based interventions (MBIs) changes clinical CVD events (CVD mortality and non‐fatal MI) compared with non‐active comparators (very low certainty).
