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

aimThis study evaluated the influence of chitosan added to a universal adhesive system used in totaletch (TE) or self-etch (SE) mode on dentin permeability, and on the micromorphology of the adhesive layer. MATERIALS AND

methodDentin discs were obtained from human third molars and randomly distributed according to bonding strategy (TE or SE), and to whether or not 1% chitosan (C) was added to a universal adhesive system (Single Bond Universal/3M ESPE), to create the following groups (n=10): TE, TEC, SE, and SEC. Dentin permeability was measured at baseline and after application of dentin treatments. The surface of the adhesive layer (AL) and the dentin adjacent to the AL were examined under a scanning electron microscope.

resultsThere were no significant differences in permeability percentage between the groups with and without C (TE and SE versus TEC and SEC) (p>0.05; Mann Whitney test). Dentin permeability was lower when the adhesive system was applied in the SE mode, regardless of the addition of C. The micromorphology of the AL surface showed irregularities, and a greater degree of porosity, when the adhesive system was applied in the SE mode, regardless of chitosan addition. There was a greater depth of penetration of the adhesives into the dentin adjacent to the AL in both the TE and TEC groups. Chitosan added to the adhesive system did not influence dentin permeability.

conclusionsThe self-etch strategy led to lower dentin permeability, and to more irregularities on the surface of the adhesive layer.
