Staining effect of various beverages on and surface nano-hardness of a resin coated and a non-coated fluoride releasing tooth-coloured restorative material: An in-vitro study.
Article in Heliyon, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
objectiveThe objective of this study was to compare staining effect of various beverages on and surface nano-hardness of a resin coated and a non-coated fluoride releasing tooth-coloured restorative material. MATERIALS AND
methodsTwo restorative materials, Equia Forte Fil (coated with Equia Forte Coat) and Cention N (non-coated), were evaluated in this study. Fifty samples (n = 50) were prepared from each restorative material. Ten samples of each material were randomly placed in Phosphate Buffer Saline (PBS) solution, Tea, Coffee and Coke solutions. Spectrophotometer readings were recorded after 24 hours of sample preparation followed by 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th day. Colour difference (ΔE) for each sample was calculated at the specified time intervals. The remaining ten samples of each restorative material were subjected to nano-hardness testing. Nano-hardness values at 1st day and 28th day were noted. Colour difference and nano-hardness values were statistically analysed.
resultsBy the 28th day, all samples from the solutions were stained. Equia Forte Fil coated with Equia Forte Coat samples showed better resistant to staining solutions than Cention N samples. Surface nano-hardness of both the materials increased from the 1st day to 28th day and were comparable.
conclusionOver a period of time, changes in colour stability and nano-hardness, are inevitable. Cention N showed more potential to undergo surface discolouration than Equia Forte Fil. Both materials exhibited increased nano-hardness over a period of time. Cention N exhibited higher surface nano-hardness when compared to Equia Forte, by the 28th day. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Resin coated, high viscous and fluoride releasing glass ionomers can delay the staining effect by various beverages and exhibit better initial surface nano-hardness when compared to a non-coated alkasite based, fluoride releasing restoration.
