The effect of water spray on the release of composite nano-dust.
Article in Clinical oral investigations, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
objectiveTo evaluate the collection efficiency of water spray on the release of airborne composite particles during grinding of composite materials. MATERIALS AND
methodsComposite sticks (L:35 mm × W:5.4 mm × H:1.6 mm) of seven commercial dental composites were ground with a rough diamond bur (grain size 100 μm, speed 200,000 rpm). All experiments were performed in an enclosed 1-m
resultsSMPS measurements confirmed that both dry and wet grinding generated high concentrations of nanoparticles particles with the highest concentration recorded during the last minute of grinding (1.80 × 10
conclusionsRegardless of whether the water cooling spray system was used during bur manipulation of composite materials, predominately nanoparticles were released. However, the particle concentrations were significantly decreased with water spray. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Since water spray might not be sufficient in nanoparticle collection, special care should be taken to prevent inhalation of composite dust.
