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

Objectives: The study aimed to evaluate the effect of adding fluconazole pure (FLUp) 10% and fluconazole from capsules (FLUcap) 25% on the porosity of the heat-cured acrylic resin. Methods: This study included 30 disc-shaped acrylic samples with a diameter of 30 mm and a thickness of 3 mm. Three subgroups: 10 pieces representing the control group without adding fluconazole, 10 pieces representing acrylic resin modified with FLUp 10%, 10 pieces representing acrylic resin modified with FLUcap 25%. The porosity was analyzed using the gravimetric method based on Archimedes' principle, by weighing the sample in the air and in the water to calculate both the dry and wet sample volumes. The measurement was done in two-time stages: T1 before immersion of the samples in distilled water, and T2 after immersion in distilled water for 28 days at a temperature of (37 ± 2)°C. Results: The Mann-Whitney test revealed no significant differences in porosity averages among the three studied groups in both time stages T1 and T2 ( Conclusion: The addition of both FLUp and FLUcap did not affect the porosity of the heat-cured acrylic resin. Clinical Significance: This study will contribute to the field of antimicrobial dental materials, whereas fluconazole-modified acrylic resin may be considered a promising treatment for denture-induced stomatitis and this study is considered the foundation of future clinical research.
