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

The importance of the Dentin Enamel Junction (DEJ) to the durability of adhesive bonds to tooth structure is unclear. In fact, no investigation has been reported on contributions of the DEJ to the fatigue resistance of the bonded interface. In this study, the durability of adhesive bonds to tooth structure involving the DEJ was quantified and compared to that of adhesive bonds to enamel only, not including the DEJ. Two different configurations of enamel bonding were considered, including when tensile stress is focused on the outer enamel (occlusal configuration) or the inner decussated enamel (decussated configuration). The resistance to failure for all bonded interfaces was assessed under both static and cyclic loading to failure. Results showed that the durability of the bonded interfaces was primarily a function of their resistance to crack initiation and growth. The bonded interface strength involving the DEJ was significantly (p ≤ 0.05) greater than that of bonds to enamel only with occlusal configuration, under both static and cyclic loading. While the fatigue strength of bonds involving the DEJ was approximately 20% greater than that for enamel bonds with occlusal configuration (7.7MPa) it was lower than that of enamel with the decussated configuration. The DEJ deterred cracks from extending readily into the dentin but it did not prevent fatigue failure. These results suggest that the durability of bonds to enamel are most dependent on the enamel rod decussation and that the DEJ plays a minor role.
