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 influence of functional monomer type and powder-to-liquid ratio on the interfacial properties and degree of conversion of experimental self-adhesive flowable resin composites (SAFRCs) bonded to dentin. MATERIALS AND

methodsNine experimental SAFRC formulations were developed by varying the powder-to-liquid ratio (1.9, 2.2, 2.5) and the functional monomers included (10-MDP, GPDM, HEMA). Human molars (n = 27) were restored using each formulation and analyzed using a rheometer to assess viscosity, Raman micro-spectroscopy for inter-diffusion zone (IDZ) width, and degree of conversion at the interface (DC%). Two-way ANOVA and post-hoc tests were performed for statistical analysis (α = 0.05).

resultsRheological testing revealed, as expected, non-Newtonian flow behavior in all composites, with significant effects of both powder-to-liquid ratio (P 0.001) and monomer type (P 0.001) on viscosity. 10-MDP composites exhibited optimal viscosity (1.12-2.86 mPa·s) across all ratios, significantly lower than GPDM and HEMA. Raman mapping showed a distinct IDZ with hybrid characteristics for 10-MDP formulations, contrasting with abrupt transitions or gaps in GPDM and HEMA groups. IDZ width was significantly greater in 10-MDP formulations (P 0.0001). The DC% at the interface was highest for 10-MDP and HEMA formulations, exceeding 68%, while GPDM composites showed lower values (P 0.001).

conclusionFunctional monomer type critically affects the interfacial bonding performance and conversion rate of SAFRCs, with 10-MDP outperforming GPDM and HEMA in interdiffusion and adhesive quality. Variations in powder-to-liquid ratio influenced viscosity but had a limited impact on interfacial performance. Optimized formulations with 10-MDP may enhance the clinical efficacy of SAFRCs. CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT: Refining acidic-monomer chemistry and viscosity in SAFRCs could improve their bonding predictability.
