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

Objective: Minimally invasive dentistry encourages conservative caries excavation and remineralisation of the remaining dental tissues. However, dentine remineralisation is more difficult than enamel remineralisation due to the differences in their composition. This study aims to assess the remineralisation potential of Activa BioActive-Restorative and Beautifil II restoration on demineralised dentine samples, and compares it with glass-ionomer (GIC) restoration using energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) and Knoop hardness number (KHN). Methods: Non-carious extracted molar teeth were used, a total number of ten teeth were sectioned into halves and partially demineralised using 37.0% phosphoric acid for 60 s. All samples are assessed using EDX and KHN prior to restorations. The samples are then subdivided into four groups (n = 5). Group 1 was restored with Activa BioActive-Restorative, Group 2 received Beautifil II, Group 3 was restored with GIC, and the last group was used as a negative control. After storage, the samples were analysed using EDX and KHN. Results: The demineralisation protocol with 37.0% phosphoric acid significantly decreased the calcium:phosphate (Ca:P) ratio and KHN. Remineralisation occurred in all groups, but the highest percentage change in Ca:P ratio and KHN was observed in the Activa BioActive-Restorative group (20.7%, 82.0%, respectively), followed by the Beautifil II group, glass ionomer group, and the control group, in that order. Conclusion: Activa BioActive-Restorative restoration presents superior remineralisation compared to Beautifil II and glass-ionomer dental restorations.
