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

background/purposeThe colonization of microorganisms onto denture bases is one common problem that can contribute to oral diseases. Herein, three food preservatives, including zinc oxide, potassium sorbate, and sodium metabisulfite were introduced as anti-microbial additives into a heat-polymerized poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). MATERIALS AND

methodsRelative microbial reductions of the modified PMMA resins against

resultsThe incorporation of all preservative agents into the material diminished the microbial growth of three microbial species. The PMMA resin combined with sodium metabisulfite exhibited the greatest anti-microbial activity that reduced almost all bacterial cells and about 40% of

conclusionThree food preservatives, especially sodium metabisulfite, could be applied as anti-microbial additives into the denture base resin. The PMMA incorporated with the additives did not show cytotoxicity. Although, the addition of the food preservatives altered the mechanical properties, the materials still provided acceptable flexural properties.
