In vitro Effect of Occlusal Loading on Cervical Wall Lesion Development in a Class II Composite Restoration.

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.
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 aim of this study was to determine the effect of simulated occlusal loading on wall lesion development in cervical gaps of class II composite restorations in vitro. Sixty-four extracted human molars received standardized (4.0 × 4.2 × 3.0 mm) box preparations. The teeth were randomly assigned to one of two restoration groups: restoration with a normal or a low E-modulus composite material (CLEARFIL AP-X: E-modulus 16.8 GPa or CLEARFIL MAJESTY ES Flow: E-modulus 6.6 GPa). A metal matrix was placed at the bottom of the box for each restoration, creating a cervical gap of about 100 μm wide. Samples were exposed to simulated caries lesion development in a lactic acid solution (pH 4.8) for 8 weeks in a Rub&Roll device. Half of the samples were subjected to 90 N cyclic loading. After demineralization, the teeth were sectioned. Wall lesion development was measured using microradiography (transversal wavelength-independent microradiography) in two different locations (location 1: 1,000 μm and location 2: 1,600 μm from the gap entrance) and recorded in lesion depth (LD) (μm) and mineral loss (μm × vol%). Linear regression modeling was used to estimate the effect of loading and material on wall lesion development. Mean wall LD in location 1 across all groups was 150.83 μm with a standard deviation (SD) of 61.83 μm. In location 2, mean overall wall LD was 102.98 μm with an SD of 64.92 μm. Linear regression showed no significant effect of either loading or material on wall lesion development. Occlusal loading had no significant effect on secondary caries lesion development in composite class II restoration in this in vitro study.
