Effect of magnetic resonance imaging on microleakage of amalgam restorations: an in vitro study.
Article in Dento maxillo facial radiology, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 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
objectivesThe technique of MRI, using powerful magnets, plays an important role in the diagnosis of diseases of the head and neck without any ionizing radiation. Because of the potential hazard imposed by the presence of ferromagnetic metals, patients with implanted metallic objects are excluded from MRI. However, amalgam restorations seem to be safe. The purpose of this study was to evaluate microleakage of amalgam restorations following MRI.
methods63 human freshly extracted premolars were divided into 3 groups based on 3 high-copper amalgams used to restore standard class V preparations on both buccal and lingual surfaces. Three different amalgam materials were used: Cinalux, GS-80 and Vivacap. The teeth were transferred into saline solution for 2 months at room temperature and then sectioned mesiodistally. MRI was randomly applied to one half of each section, and the other half was kept as a control. Following MRI, all specimens were immersed in a dye solution, sectioned and scored for any microleakage using a stereomicroscope.
resultsDifferences in microleakage within each group following MRI were significant in the GS-80 and Vivacap groups but not in the Cinalux group. However, there was no significant difference between the three groups regarding the microleakage score.
conclusionsThe results of this study suggest that MRI is not a completely safe technique in patients with amalgam restorations. It was shown that the main effect of fields led to the appearance of thermoelectromagnetic convection, which is responsible for the enhancement of the diffusion process, grain boundary migration and vacancy formation resulting in microleakage.
