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

backgroundThe purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the surface roughness (Ra) changes of different dental ceramic materials with different compositions, which were applied two different surface treatments after exposure to acidic pH. The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the Ra changes of different CAD-CAM materials with different compositions, which were applied two different surface treatments, after exposure to acidic pH.

methodsA total of the 168 samples (12 × 14 × 2 mm) were obtained from ceramic blocks (IPS e.max CAD (LDS)), GC Cerasmart (RNC-C), Lava Ultimate (RNC-L), and Vita Enamic (PIC). Half of each group was subjected to mechanical polishing, and the other half was glazed. After the initial Ra evaluations were made, the samples classified with 7 in each subgroup were kept in three different solutions (citric acid, Coca-Cola, and artificial saliva-control group). After 168 h, surface roughness values of the specimens were measured again.

resultsIn the RNC-C samples, varying surface treatments and exposure to various solutions did not produce a statistically significant difference. Different acidic solutions did not affect the Ra values of LDS and RNC-C ceramics. The percentage change in Ra values in the glazed samples of PIC exposed to Coca-Cola and RNC-L exposed to artificial saliva were higher than those applied mechanical polishing.

conclusionThe Ra values of RNC-C ceramics were not affected by both surface treatment and acid exposure. The percentage change in Ra values was highest in PIC ceramics. In general, glazed samples had larger Ra change values and higher percentage change in Ra values than manually polished ones.
