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

backgroundTo compare the fluorescence-aided and conventionally excavated dentin with microhardness and shear bond strength(SBS) tests. MATERIAL AND

methodsTwenty-four teeth with dentin caries were bisected through the center of the lesion into two halves. Forty-eight dentin specimens were embedded and mounted in an acrylic resin. All carious tissue was removed and classified as caries free using conventional visual tactile criteria. Then half of the specimens(n=24) were reinspected with fluorescence-aided caries excavation light(FACE) (FaceLight, W&H Dentalwerk, Bürmoos GmbH, Austria). Specimens were subjected to microhardness and shear bond strength testings. The fracture mode analysis was also performed. The data were compared with Student's t test and Chi-square test.

resultsResidual caries was observed in 2 out of 24 conventionally excavated specimens with FACE inspection(

conclusionsFACE method could be considered as a promising technique for removing infected dentin.
