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

Composite restorations are inevitably exposed to prophylactic procedures associated with a risk of surface damage (loss of substance and roughening). The aim of the present study was to compare the effect of air-polishing with three different powders of reduced abrasiveness on composite fillings. Forty-eight specimens of microhybrid light-cure composite were randomly divided into three groups (n = 16 each), scanned in 3D and air-polished with the following: sodium bicarbonate (40 µm), glycine (25 µm) and erythritol (14 µm), respectively. Then, the specimens were rescanned and the data were processed in specialized 3D analysis software. Loss of composite material was visible in all specimens. The estimated mean composite volume loss was higher for sodium bicarbonate and erythritol (0.09 mm
