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

Introduction: The bond strength (BS) between composite resin and dentin is a crucial factor determining the long-term success of restorations. Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), a frequently used root canal irrigating agent, has been demonstrated to notably influence the properties of dentin, thereby affecting the BS. Moreover, the application of collagen crosslinkers has become a potential approach to improve the stability of the resin-dentin bond. Nevertheless, the effect of collagen crosslinkers on the bond strength (BS) between sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) treated dentin and composite resin remains a topic of contention, and there is a lack of in-depth understanding in the existing literature. The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to analyze the current literature on the effect of collagen crosslinkers on the BS between sodium hypochlorite treated dentin and composite resin. Methods: Databases including PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane library, Scopus, Web of Science and SinoMed were searched. Results: For dentin exposed less than 1 min or NaOCl at lower concentration, significant positive effect cannot be observed when using collagen crosslinkers. For dentin exposed more than 1 min in NaOCl at concentrations greater than 2.5%, EDTA, PA and SA were observed to significantly improve the BS. RA is proved effective in improving the BS of dentin exposed to high concentrations NaOCl within a shorter duration. Current evidence is insufficient to conclude that IP6 has a positive effect in NaOCl-treated dentin bonding performance. Conclusion: The effect of collagen crosslinkers on the BS of NaOCl treated dentin was influenced by the concentration of NaOCl and the duration of exposure.
