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

objectiveBioactive glass and hydroxyapatite are biocompatible materials used as an adjunct to various dental materials. The present study aimed to evaluate the occlusion effects of bioactive glasses and hydroxyapatite on dental tubules. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe searched the PubMed/Medline, Embase, and Web of Science databases for the relevant records. The methodological quality of the studies was assessed by an accepted quality assessment tool.

resultsFrom the electronic databases, 372 articles were retrieved. After evaluating the records, 35 in vitro studies were included. The studies revealed a low risk of bias. The primary outcomes from bioactive glass studies demonstrated the potential efficacy of both bioactive glass and hydroxyapatite in dentin tubule occlusion compared to the control.

conclusionThe current systematic review showed that bioactive glass and hydroxyapatite could effectively occlude the dentinal tubules. Thus, desensitizing agents containing bioactive glass and hydroxyapatite can be used to manage dentin hypersensitivity (DH). However, long-term follow-up clinical trials are required in the future before definitive recommendations can be made. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: This work achieved a satisfactorily systematic review for assessing desensitizing agents containing bioactive glass and hydroxyapatite in dentine hypersensitivity treatments recommended for clinical practice and research.
