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

purposeTo evaluate the effect of conventional and bioactive restorative materials on bond strength to control (non-irradiated) and irradiated dentin.

methodsHuman dentin fragments (240) were polished and divided into non-irradiated dentin (NI; n = 120) and irradiated dentin (ID; n = 120). ID specimens received 70 Gy irradiation (2 Gy/fraction, 5 days/week for 7 weeks). All dentin surfaces were bonded to restorative materials with Scotchbond universal adhesive in self-etching mode. Microshear bond strength cylinders were built on the bonded surface according to the restorative material (4 subgroups, n = 30): conventional resin composite (CC-Filtek Z250) and three bioactive restorative composites (BCI-Activa BioActive-Restorative; BCII-Beautiful II; BCIII-Predicta Bulk). Specimens were stored in water at 37 °C for 24 h or 30 days and subjected to microshear bond strength test. The data was analyzed using two-way ANOVA and Tukey's post-hoc test (⍺ < 0.05). The morphological surface of both NI and ID dentin (n = 3) was analyzed using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM).

resultsTwo-way ANOVA revealed a significant effect of the Time/Radiation (p < 0.001). Restorative material (p = 0.191) and the interaction Time/Radiation*Restorative material (p = 0.169) were not significant. Irradiation decreased the bond strength of CC specimens at both 24 h (p < 0.001) and 30 days (p < 0.001). None of the bioactive materials were significantly affected by irradiation and storage time. The SEM analysis revealed morphological changes in the ID specimens.

conclusionIonizing radiation-induced morphological changes in the dentin surface. These changes negatively affected the conventional resin composite bond strengths to dentin. However, these morphological alterations did not affect the bond strength of the bioactive restorative materials.
