The Effect of Radiotherapy on the Microtensile Bond Strength of Dentin in Relation to the Timing of Restoration Procedure.

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.
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
Objective: To compare microtensile bond strength at different time points relative to fractional irradiation using both etch-and-rinse (ER) and self-etch (SE) adhesive systems. Methods: Ninety-six sound extracted human molars were divided into two control groups (control-ER and control-SE) and six irradiated groups. The irradiated groups were subdivided based on the timing of restoration: those restored before irradiation (restoration before irradiation [RBI]-ER and RBI-SE) and those restored after irradiation (irradiation before restoration [IBR]-ER, IBR-ER delayed, IBR-SE, and IBR-SE delayed). The irradiated specimens underwent fractional radiotherapy at 2 Gy per day, reaching a total dose of 70 Gy. All specimens were restored with resin composite at the designated time points relative to irradiation. Microtensile bond strength was measured, fracture patterns were analyzed, and surface morphology was examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Data were analyzed using two-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni post hoc tests ( Results: ANOVA revealed significant restoration timing and adhesive-type effects on microtensile bond strength ( Conclusions: Irradiation compromised dentin bond strength, resin tag formation and hybrid layer integrity in a manner dependent on the adhesive system used. In the ER adhesive groups, bond strength was significantly higher when restorations were performed post-irradiation. Conversely, for the SE adhesive groups, the time points of the restoration had no significant effect on bond strength.
