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

Experimental oral biofilms have traditionally been cultured on various substrates. Among them, hydroxyapatite (HA), in the form of discs or beads, has been widely used due to its chemical relevance to natural dental tissues. However, these conventional HA substrates fail to replicate the intricate topography of natural teeth, features that significantly influence microbial adhesion and biofilm development. To address this limitation, we developed morphologically accurate HA-based tooth models, including both intact and restored variants. Premolar and molar tooth models were fabricated from patient-derived computed tomography scans using HA powder via cold isostatic pressing and sintering. Restorations (inlays and onlays) were incorporated using permanent dental resin, which was mounted with clinical-grade dental cement. The resulting tooth models were free of visible cracks or macroscopic defects and demonstrated mechanical stability comparable to that of natural human teeth. Results from biofilm experiments using
