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

Background: Bonded composites may increase bacterial accumulation and caries formation risk. Therefore, assessment of methods to decrease bacterial activity around them would be valuable. The literature on the efficacy of adding silver nanoparticles to fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) or adding them to bonding agents in terms of their antibacterial activity and/or shear bond strength (SBS) is scarce. Thus, we aimed to assess the antibacterial activity of flowable composites and bonding agents containing various percentages of experimental silver nanoparticles (nanosilver) against Materials and Methods: In this preliminary study, 0% (control), 0.5%, 1%, 2.5%, and 5% nanosilver were added to flowable composite and bonding agent. Syntheses of nanosilver and nanosilver-incorporated composite specimens were approved using X-ray diffraction spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Antibacterial effects of the produced materials on Results: Composite discs containing all concentrations of nanosilver reduced Conclusion: Adding 0.5%, 1%, and 2.5% nanosilver to composite and 0.5% or 1% nanosilver to bonding agent led to a significant antibacterial behavior against
