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

objectiveThis study aimed to develop enamel substitute material using a mechanochemical technique. MATERIALS AND

methodsHydroxyapatite was synthesized with and without tricalcium phosphate under uniaxial pressing of 10 and 17 MPa (HA10, HA17, BCP10, and BCP17), followed by sintering at 1250 °C for 2 h. Human enamel and dentin blocks were used as control groups. The mechanical properties were determined by compressive strength test and Vickers microhardness. The data were analyzed with one-way ANOVA and LSD post-hoc test (α = 0.05). The phase formation and morphology of the specimens were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

resultsHA17 and HA10 had compressive strength values comparable to enamel and dentin, respectively (p > 0.05). The microhardness of all synthesized groups was significantly higher than that of tooth structures (p < 0.05). From the XRD graphs, only the hydroxyapatite peak was observed in the control and HA groups. SEM images showed homogeneous hydroxyapatite grains in all groups, while the BCP groups contained higher porosities.

conclusionsBoth HA10 and HA17 are suitable for use as the inorganic part of dentin and enamel substitutes.
