Can glass polyalkenoate (glass-ionomer) dental cements be considered bioactive? A review.
Review in Heliyon, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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.
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
Objectives: This paper reviews the chemical behaviour of glass polyalkenoate (glass-ionomer) dental cements, both conventional and resin-modified, in contact with natural tissues, with the aim of determining whether these materials can be considered to be bioactive. Data: Relevant papers describing the behaviour of bioactive glasses and ceramics, and glass-ionomer (glass polyalkenoate) cements have been identified using PubMed and Science Direct. This has allowed a comparison to be made between the behaviour of glass-ionomers and the speciality glasses and ceramics that are widely classified as bioactive, a designation considered valid for over fifty years. More recent papers concerning bioactive metals and polymers have also been studied and both Sources: Have included general papers on the chemistry and biological behaviour of bioactive glasses and ceramics, as well as papers on glass-ionomers dealing with (i) ion release, (ii) bonding to the surface of teeth, (iii) influence on surrounding pH and (iv) interaction with bone. Conclusion: The literature shows that glass-ionomers (glass polyalkenoates) have three types of behaviour that are similar to those of bioactive glasses as follows: Formation of direct bonds to living tissue (teeth and bones) without fibrous capsule; release of biologically beneficial ions; and change of the local pH.
