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

One of the greatest challenges in life sciences and biomaterials research is adhesion of biomolecules and bacteria to solid surfaces in aqueous solutions. An example concerning everybody is biofilm formation in the oral cavity on dental materials and dental hard substances, respectively. The main characteristics typical for any bioadhesion can be observed excellently in the oral cavity. Initially, a proteinaceous layer termed pellicle is formed. It mediates the interactions between solid substrata, oral fluids and microorganisms. Numerous different materials with differing physico-chemical properties and possible impact on the acquired pellicle are present in the oral cavity such as enamel, dentine, restorative materials or dental implants. Despite the fact that in vitro studies demonstrate considerable differences of experimental pellicles formed on these materials, the in situ pellicles seem to be relatively similar and level off the different properties of the underlying substrates. However, the bacterial colonisation of pellicle-coated surfaces under in vivo conditions differs considerably. Long-range forces and detachment of biofilm layers may account for this phenomenon despite the masking effect of the pellicle. Accordingly, low-energy surfaces are desirable for restorative materials exposed to the oral cavity to minimise bacterial adhesion. The oral cavity is an easy accessible in vivo model for understanding bioadhesion and for investigation of protein-surface interactions noninvasively. For evaluation of biofilm formation on dental materials, in situ or in vivo studies are preferable.
