Comparison of polymerization shrinkage of a new bulk-fill flowable composite with other composites: An in vitro study.
Article in Clinical and experimental dental research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
objectiveSince composites still face a critical problem called polymerization shrinkage and bulk-fill composites have reported acceptable results for this issue, this study aims to assess the polymerization shrinkage of a new bulk-fill flowable composite (G-aenial bulk injectable [GBI]) and compare it to other bulk-fill and conventional composites. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn this in vitro study, 25 composite discs were fabricated using three bulk-fill and two conventional composites. They were bonded to a microscopic slide and were covered by a coverslip. This assembly was transferred to a linear variable differential transformer and composite samples were cured from underneath the slides. Dimensional changes formed in composite samples were recorded. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance followed by post hoc Tukey's and Dunnett's tests.
resultsThe groups were significantly different regarding polymerization shrinkage. G-aenial bulk injectable and G-aenial universal flo showed significantly higher polymerization shrinkage than other composites at 30, 60, and 1800 s after light irradiation, while X-tra fil and Filtek Z250 showed the lowest polymerization shrinkage at the aforementioned time points.
conclusionAccording to the results, the new composite had polymerization shrinkage similar to the conventional one. Bulk-fill composites reported similar or lower shrinkage to conventional composites.
