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

objectiveThis study tested the effects of small leucine-rich proteoglycan (SLRP) proteins on phosphoric acid (PA)-treated dentin bonding overtime and the role of such SLRPs in the remineralization potential of demineralized dentin collagen.

methodsCoronal dentin sections of human molars were used. SLRPs were either decorin (DCN) or biglycan (BGN) in core or proteoglycan form (with glycosaminoglycans, GAGs). Groups were: No treatment (control), DCN core, DCN + GAGs, BGN core, BGN + GAGs. Samples were etched with PA for 15 s and prior to application of Adper Single Bond Plus and composite buildup an aliquot of the specific SLRPs was applied over dentin. Twenty-four hours or 6 months after the bonding procedure, samples were tested for microtensile bond strength (MTBS). Debonded beams were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). For remineralization studies, dentin blocks were fully demineralized, infused with the SLRPs, placed in artificial saliva for 2 weeks, and evaluated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM).

resultsMTBS test presented a mean of 51.4 ± 9.1 MPa in control with no statistically significant difference to DCN core (47.6 ± 8.3) and BGN core (48.3 ± 6.5). The full proteoglycan groups DCN + GAGs (27.4 ± 4.5) and BGN + GAGs (36.4 ± 13.6) showed decreased MTBS compared to control (p < 0.001). At 6 months, control or core-treated samples did not have a statistically significant difference in MTBS. However, SLRPs with GAGs showed statistically significant improvement of bonding (62.5 ± 6.0 for DCN and 52.8 ± 8.1 for BGN, p < 0.001) compared to their baseline values. SEM showed that GAGs seem to favor water retention but overtime help remineralization. TEM of demineralized dentin indicated a larger collagen fibril diameter pattern of samples treated with core proteins compared to control and a smaller diameter with DCN + GAGs in water with evidence of mineralization with DCN + GAGS, BGN core and BGN + GAGs. SIGNIFICANCE: In conclusion, core proteins seem not to affect dentin adhesion significantly but the presence of GAGs can be detrimental to immediate bonding. However, after ageing of samples, full proteoglycans, particularly DCN, can significantly improve bonding overtime while promoting remineralization which can prove to be clinically beneficial.
