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

Aim: The surface roughness of dental restorations can decrease resin durability, since it leads to its deterioration, color variation, and loss of gloss. Therefore, the aim was to assess the surface roughness of nanoparticle resin composites, subjected to two different polishing systems. Materials and Methods: This longitudinal Results: The surface roughness of Palfique LX5 resin with the Sof-lex system was 0.330 (CI: 0.282-0.378 µm) and 0.170 (CI: 0.087-0.253 µm) before and after polishing, respectively. With the Super Snap system, values of 0.448 (CI: 0.346-0.549 µm) and 0.206 (CI: 0.130-0.282 µm) were obtained before and after polishing, respectively. For the Filtek Z350 XT resin, the surface roughness obtained with the Sof-lex system was 0.353 (CI: 0.278-0.427 µm) and 0.134 (CI: 0.095-0.172 µm) before and after polishing, respectively. With the Super Snap system, values of 0.334 (CI: 0.247-0.421 µm) and 0.171 (CI: 0.122-0.221 µm) were obtained before and after polishing, respectively. Surface roughness did not show significant differences in all groups assessed both before ( Conclusion: The surface roughness of the Filtek Z350 XT and Palfique LX5 nanoparticle resin composites showed no significant differences when using the Sof-lex and Super Snap polishing systems. However, both polishing systems significantly decreased the surface roughness of the nanoparticulated resins, with this decrease being similar in all groups.
