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

objectiveThe purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of Silver nanoparticle immobilized Halloysite Nanotubes (HNT/Ag) fillers on physicochemical, mechanical, and biological properties of novel experimental dental resin composite in order to compare with the properties of corresponding composites containing conventional glass fillers.

methodsDental resin (Bis-GMA/TEGDMA with ratio 70/30) composites were prepared by incorporation of varied mass fraction of HNT/Ag. Experimental composites were divided into six groups, one control group and five experimental groups containing mass fraction 1 to 10.0 wt. % of HNT/Ag. Mechanical properties of the dental composites were recorded. Degree of conversion and depth of cure of the dental resin composites were assessed. Antimicrobial properties were assessed using agar diffusion test and evaluation of cytotoxicity were performed on NIH-3T3 cell line.

resultsThe inclusion of mass fractions (1-5 wt. %) of the HNT/Ag in dental resins composites, significantly improved mechanical properties. While, addition of larger mass fractions (7.5 and 10 wt. %) of the HNT/Ag did not show further improvement in the mechanical properties of dental resins composites. Theses composites also demonstrated satisfactory depth of cure and degree of conversion. A significant antibacterial activity was observed on

conclusionThe incorporation of HNT/Ag in Bis-GMA/TEGDMA dental resins composites resulted in enhancement in mechanical as well as biological properties for dental applications. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: HNT/Ag containing dental composite is proposed to be highly valuable in the development of restorative dental material for patients with high risk of dental caries.
