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

backgroundThis study aimed to assess the impact of 38% silver diamine fluoride (SDF) treatment regarding microtensile bond strength of three bioactive restorative materials to artificially induced caries-affected dentine after thermocycling; Alkasite restorative material, Glass hybrid restorative (GHR) and Resin modified glass ionomer (RMGI).

methodsA total of 60 artificially demineralized human mid-coronal dentine specimens were randomly allocated into two main groups (n = 30 each): a control group and an SDF-treated group (38% SDF). Each group was additionally split into three subgroups (n = 10) regarding the type of restorative material (Alkasite; Cention N, GHR; EQUIA Forte fil, RMGIC; Fuji II LC). 10,000 cycles of thermal cycling were conducted alternating between 5 ºC - 55 ºC with a dwell-duration of 15 s. µTBS was assessed with the aid of a universal testing machine (Instron Co., Canton, MA-USA) occupied with a 50 kg load cell, operating at 0.5 mm/min cross-head speed till failure. µTBS results, measured in MPa, were collected and statistically analyzed with two- and one-way ANOVA succeeded by Tukey's post hoc test and student's t-test (α = 0.05).

resultsThere was a significant reduction in µTBS after SDF application in all tested groups (p ≤ 0.05). Cention N recorded the highest bond strength values in both control and SDF-treated conditions, while EQUIA Forte Fil had the lowest.

conclusionsBased on the limitations of this laboratory study, the application of 38% SDF directly preceding restoration with Alkasite, GHR or RMGI resulted in a significant deterioration in bond strength to artificially induced caries-affected dentine.
