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

objectivesTo evaluate the effect of the size of stainless steel mesh and universal adhesive primer on the flexural strength of repaired polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) denture base resin. MATERIALS AND

methodsA total of 120 heat-cured PMMA specimens with dimensions of 5 × 50 × 30 mm were prepared and repaired with two different sizes of stainless steel mesh reinforcement, one group with med-fine mesh (size 0.42 mm

resultsA significantly higher mean flexural strength (p < 0.05) was recorded in primed groups non-thermocycled with fine mesh (174.80 ± 50.27 MPa) and medium mesh (160.87 ± 41.50 MPa) compared to non-primed groups. Non-primed specimens with fine mesh exhibited the highest Weibull modulus (5.86), whereas that of primed medium mesh had the lowest Weibull modulus (2.64). Adhesive failure was identified at the interface of the stainless steel mesh and the self-cure acrylic resin.

conclusionApplication of the universal adhesive primer to both mid-fine and fine stainless steel mesh significantly improved the flexural strength of the repaired PMMA heat-cured acrylic resin, and reinforcement with primed fine stainless steel mesh resulted in significantly higher flexural strength of repaired PMMA heat-cured an acrylic resin.
