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

Graphene oxide (GO) is an emerging luminescent carbon nanomaterial with the ability to foster hydroxyapatite (HA). A specially designed electrophoresis system can be used to accelerate the mineralization process. The aim of this study was to promote HA crystal growth on demineralized dentin using a GO incorporated electrophoresis system. GO was successfully synthesized by carbonization of citric acid and its presence was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared and UV-visible spectrophotometry evaluation. Dentin slices were placed in demineralized solution and divided into control (without the electrophoresis system) and experimental group. Demineralized dentin slices in the experimental group were remineralized using the electrophoresis system for 8 h/1.0 mA, with one subgroup treated without GO and the other with GO. Energy dispersive spectroscopy evaluation showed that the calcium/phosphate ratio of the crystal formed in control and experimental group with addition of GO was close to natural hydroxyapatite. However, scanning electron microscopy evaluation showed that the exposed dentinal tubules were occluded with rod-like crystals, which is similar to native enamel morphology, in the experimental group with addition of GO compared to the flake-like crystal in the control group. Mechanical evaluation revealed that the nanohardness and modulus of remineralized dentin were significantly higher in the experimental group. In conclusion, GO is a promising material to remineralize dentin and the introduction of an electrophoresis system can accelerate its process.
