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

backgroundSurvival of endodontically treated teeth depends on an efficient restoration of the missing tooth structure.

objectivesThis study aimed to investigate the mechanical properties of different endodontic post systems. MATERIALS AND

methodsHuman permanent maxillary central incisors (no.=58) were decoronated and root-filled. The specimens with prepared root canals were randomly divided into Group P: Polyether Ether Ketone (PEEK) post and composite core and Group C: custom-made post-core of PEEK. The cementation of the posts was carried out using self-adhesive resin cement. Nano-hybrid composite resin was used for core fabrication. After cementation, the specimens from each group were randomly divided into two subgroups according to the types of tests utilized: 14 from each group were for the fracture strength test, which was restored with IPS e-max CAD crown, and 15 from each group for the pullout resistance test. A universal testing machine was used for the test performance.

resultsThe fracture resistance test showed that the values significantly differed among tested posts (P = 0.013). Group P showed the highest fracture resistance. Group C exhibited higher mean pullout resistance values than the other group (P) (P = 0.059). In the two-piece PEEK post and composite core, the predominant type of failure was a core fracture, while in the one-piece PEEK post-core, most types of failures were either in the crown or in the post.

conclusionsThe prefabricated posts are more resistant to fracture than the custom-made posts, with fracture and displacement mainly of the core. In contrast, both showed similar pullout resistance.
