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

objectiveTo obtain the retention strength of translucent zirconia crowns on human tooth abutments and evaluate effects of specimen preparation, bonding protocol, and comparing aging in two different chewing simulators. MATERIALS AND

methodsTranslucent zirconia crowns were bonded to prepared human teeth using two resin composite luting materials: Panavia V5 (PV5) and RelyX Universal (with primer [RUV] and without primer [RUO]). Specimens were fabricated at two sites (B and M) and the retention strength was determined before and after aging in two different chewing simulators (N = 216, n = 12) using 1.2 million cycles, 50 N, 1.5 Hz and 6000 thermal cycles. Data were analyzed with 3-way ANOVA and Bonferroni post-hoc test (α = 0.05).

resultsHigher retention strength values were observed for specimens produced at site M (7.1 ± 2.6 MPa) compared to B (5.5 ± 2.7 MPa). Overall, highest values were obtained with PV5 (7.0 ± 2.1 MPa) and RUV (7.0 ± 2.7 MPa), while retention strength with RUO was lower (4.9 ± 2.9 MPa). The highest values overall were determined before aging (8.1 ± 1.8 MPa), followed by aging in the industrially available simulator using weight-loading (6.1 ± 2.4 MPa) and the custom-built hydraulic simulator (4.8 ± 2.9 MPa) enhancing aging effects.

conclusionsThe specimen production affected retention strength values. Bonding protocols PV5 and RUV revealed similar results, while lower values were obtained using the self-adhesive approach RUO. Aging in the hydraulic simulator was more pronounced, despite identical settings. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Differences in retention strength may occur between operators, despite strict bonding protocol adherence. An adhesive bonding protocol using the respective primer is recommended over self-adhesive bonding of translucent zirconia crowns on human teeth.
