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

objectivesTo evaluate flexural strength, elastic modulus, microhardness, and microstructure of several universal resin composites before and after artificial aging. In addition, filler characterization, water sorption, solubility, and degree of conversion were analyzed.

methodsFive universal composites, Essentia Universal (EU), Filtek Universal (FU), G-ænial A'Chord (GA), Omnichroma (OM), and Tetric Prime (TP) were compared to a conventional composite, Filtek Supreme XTE (FS) used as a control. Flexural strength, elastic modulus, microhardness, and microstructure were analyzed at baseline and after three aging procedures: (1) Immersion in artificial saliva at 37°C for 2 weeks; (2) the same immersion followed by 10,000 thermocycles (5°C-55°C); and (3) the previous procedure with an additional 48-h storage in 75% ethanol at 37°C. SEM characterization of filler particles, water sorption, solubility, and degree of conversion were also assessed.

resultsFU showed the highest flexural strength and elastic modulus. Thermocycling reduced the flexural strength and elastic modulus of all composites except the elastic modulus of FU. FS was the hardest composite and EU the softest. FU, OM, and TP exhibited lower water sorption than FS. EU, GA, and OM exhibited lower solubility than FS. A similar degree of conversion was found for all universal composites.

conclusionDifferences in mechanical behavior depended on the resin composite tested and the aging treatment.
