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

The occlusal matrix technique appears as an alternative to the conventional restorative technique. The aim of this study is to present treatment options for the decayed occlusal surface of posterior teeth by means of an occlusal matrix made with different materials, for an accurate reproduction of the tooth surface. This paper presents five clinical cases using five different materials, such as Bite-Perf, flowable composite, self-curing acrylic resin, silicone and thermoforming foil. Before light-curing, the last layer of composite resin, the matrix, is repositioned and firmly pressed so the replication of the original occlusal anatomy can be achieved. When using an occlusal matrix, minimal or no finishing and polishing procedures are needed and the offered aesthetics are clearly an advantage. Moreover, this technique makes up for the additional chairside work time. The occlusal matrix technique is demonstrated to be effective for direct composite resin restorations in posterior teeth, allowing a reliable and predictable reproduction of the occlusal anatomy and clinical adjustment. For this purpose, a clear material is preferable since it allows light transmission.
