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

objectivesThe objective of this research was to evaluate the volumetric and surface stability in vitro, to different pH levels, of calcium silicate-based repair cements ready-to-use and powder/liquid exposed. MATERIALS AND

methodsSixty human teeth were retro-prepared to a depth of 3 mm and divided into two groups. The first group included powder/liquid cements Biodentine (Septodont, France) and MTA HP (Angelus, Brazil); the second group included ready-to-use cements Bio-C Repair (Angelus, Brazil) and ENDOCEM MTA (Maruchi, Republic of Korea). All samples were submerged in PBS solution with pH levels of 5, 7, and 12. Initially, the materials were evaluated for porosity, marginal adaptation, and volumetric change using micro-CT, and then re-evaluated after 7 and 30 days of exposure to PBS solution. The samples were characterized using SEM/EDS and RAMAN spectroscopy. Statistical evaluation was performed using ANOVA with a 5% significance level.

resultsBio-C Repair showed significant statistical differences (p < 0.05) at different pHs in 7 and 30 days compared to other materials, being greater in acidic medium. ENDOCEM, regardless of pH, at 30 days showed fewer voids when compared to other repair cements.

conclusionThis micro-CT study demonstrated that regardless pH, the clinic presentation of calcium silicate-based materials ready-to-use showed higher and loss volumetric than powder/liquid materials at 30 days. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Under neutral pH conditions, calcium silicate-based materials are expected to maintain properties such as bioactivity and low solubility. However, in clinical situations involving infection and inflammation, pH variations can impact the physicochemical properties of these materials regardless of their clinical presentation.
