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.

Abstract

objectivesSensi-IP®OG (SIP-OG) and Sensi-IP®FF (SIP-FF) are soluble bioactive glasses developed to treat dentin hypersensitivity and promote remineralization. Evaluation of their therapeutic potential to reduce dentin hypersensitivity and recover enamel strength was evaluated using standardized in vitro assessments based on simulated use.

methodsTo assess dentin occlusion a visual occlusion methodology was employed. Dentin discs were subjected to twice-daily simulated brushing (for 5 days) using 0.67 g of toothpaste for 10 s. Simple prototype toothpastes containing SIP-OG and SIP-FF were compared to commercially available controls: Colgate® Sensitive Pro-Relief (CPR) and Sensodyne® Repair and Protect with NovaMin® (SRP). Samples were stored in artificial saliva between treatments. All samples were assessed at baseline and subsequent to each treatment and were scored on a 5-point categorical scale for occlusion. For enamel surface effects, test articles of SIP-OG, SIP-FF, and SIP-FF with NaF were compared to a positive (with NaF) and a negative (no NaF) control paste. Enamel samples were subjected to a pH cycling regime, providing exposure to the toothpaste slurry (i.e., 2 parts deionized water to 1 part toothpaste), mineralizing solution, and demineralizing solution over 5 days of simulated use. Samples were stored overnight in mineralizing solution. Samples were evaluated for fluoride uptake and changes to surface microhardness.

resultsVisual occlusion scores (1 fully occluded to 5 unoccluded) were 2.6, 3.8, 4.4 and 4.0 after 1 day of simulated use for SIP-OG, SIP-FF with NaF, Colgate® Sensitive Pro-Relief and Sensodyne® Repair and Protect, respectively, decreasing to 1.0, 1.8, 3.1 and 3.9 after 5 days of application. SIP-OG provided superior occlusion at the significance level of p ≤ 0.05 at 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 days. SIP-FF with NaF provided superior occlusion at the significance level of p ≤ 0.05 at 2, 4, and 5 days. Fluoride uptake ranged from 9.0 μg/cm

conclusionsSuperior occlusion of dentin tubules was observed with both novel additives compared to commercially available toothpastes. A build-up effect with increasing occlusion was noted with repeated application for both novel additives and ascribed to mineralization effects, as supported by surface microhardness recovery on initial enamel lesions.
