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

This in-vitro study investigates the bonding interfaces reached by the conditioning of a splint material additively manufactured by digital light processing (AM base) as well as the shear bond strength (SBS) of resins bonded to these surfaces (repair material). Therefore, the AM base was either stored in dry for 12 h or wet environment for 14 days to simulate ageing by intraoral wear. The dry and wet group was bonded after physical and/or chemical conditioning to cylinders made from polymethylmethacrylate or four novel polymers allowing splint modifications. Blasted and methylmethacrylate (MMA)-conditioned Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) bonded to PMMA acted as the gold standard. The surface profiles revealed highest differences of Ra towards the gold standard in AM base conditioned with other than MMA after sandblasting. The adhesively bonded repair materials of the wet AM base were further aged in wet environment for 14 days. The SBS of the gold standard (25.2 MPa and 25.6 MPa) was only reached by PMMA bonded to blasted and MMA-conditioned AM base after dry (22.7 MPa) and non-conditioned after wet storage (23 MPa). Four repair materials failed to reach the threshold of 5 MPa after dry storage and three after wet storage, respectively. Non-conditioned AM base revealed the highest risk for adhesive fractures when using other resins than PMMA.
