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

purposeEvaluation of different composites with varying viscosity for their suitability as intracanal anchorage (ICA) materials using push-out bond strength testing. MATERIALS AND

methods48 human maxillary incisors were root filled, crowns partially removed except one residual wall, and distributed into four groups (n = 12), according to one of the following ICA composites: Ormocer (AFx), preheated composite (VB), core build-up (RDC) or flowable (SDR). A 4 mm deep root canal enlargement was prepared using Gates Glidden burrs, and hard tissues were conditioned using a universal adhesive in etch-and-rinse mode. Intracanal cavities were filled using the groups' specific ICA material and a nanohybrid composite (GrandioSO, VOCO) for crown reconstruction. Two samples per group were scanned using phase-contrast-enhanced µ-computer tomography (PCE-CT). The remaining samples were thermo-mechanically loaded (TML), and push-out bond strengths and fracture patterns of ICA materials were analyzed.

resultsPush-out bond strengths were significantly affected by ICA materials (P = 0.001) and location inside the root canal (P 0.005; generalized estimating equations). VB showed a significantly lower bond strength (13.5MPa ± 5.3MPa) compared to RDC (19.6MPa ±7.6MPa) and AFx (21.4MPa ±7.6MPa), but did not differ significantly from SDR (20MPa ± 10.3MPa). All groups demonstrated predominantly adhesive failures between the composite and dentin (P 0.05; Chi-square test). µ-CT scans indicate material-dependent localization and quantity of voids.

conclusionThe survival rates after TML and the push-out bond strength values indicate a sufficient bonding of all ICA materials. Frequently occurring voids highlight problems of application and the effects of materials' viscosity on void formation and bond strength.
