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

objectivesThe objective of this study was to evaluate the biomechanical properties of dentin and the microtensile bond strength (μTBS) performed before or after radiotherapy (RT). MATERIAL AND

methodsDentin chemical composition (infrared spectroscopy-FTIR), SEM images, and mechanical properties (Vickers microhardness-VHN and elastic modulus-E) were evaluated comparing no irradiated and irradiate dentin (n = 5). RT was defined by application of 72 Gy (1.8 Gy daily, 5 days per week, during 8 weeks) with sample immersed in distilled water. μTBS evaluated three groups (n = 10): NI-no irradiated; IB-irradiation before restoration; and IA-irradiation after restoration. Resin-dentin sticks (1.0 mm

resultsAfter RT, percentage ratio of FTIR analysis showed increased absorption for all bands. SEM image showed a disorganized dentin structure. Two-way ANOVA showed increased VHN (p = 0.005) and decreased E (p < 0.001). For μTBS, one-way ANOVA and Duncan test showed significant differences among groups (p = 0.018). IB group presented the lowest bond strength values.

conclusionsRT alters the absorption bands and SEM images showed a disorganization of the dentin structure. Mechanical properties were changed with increased VHN and decreased E. μTBS was affected by the radiotherapy and restoration period (before or after). CLINICAL RELEVANCE: RT causes changes that contribute to increased risk of tooth decay. Restorative treatments can be performed using adhesive procedures, but it is preferable to be performed before of the irradiation protocol, to guarantee better adhesive properties to restoration.
