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/purpose: Clinically, dentists are suggested to immerse autopolymerizing interim fixed restorations in hot water during fabrication. However, this suggestion, without including the best temperature, mostly comes from clinical experience instead of scientific evidence. This in vitro study evaluated the effect of water temperature on the cytotoxicity of interim partial fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) and examined its correlation with residual MMA. Materials and methods: Tempron was chosen as the autopolymerizing polymethyl methacrylate material. Tempron was mixed and then soaked in water at different temperatures, except control group (Control Results: The 60 °C and 80 °C groups exhibited significantly higher cell viabilities than those of the other groups ( Conclusion: Autopolymerizing PMMA interim FDPs that are polymerized in water up to at least 60 °C could reduce cell toxicity. Higher water temperature could certainly decrease the amount of residual MMA, which is closely correlated with the outcome of cell viability.
