Effect of ionizing radiation on the mechanical properties of current fluoride-releasing materials.
Article in BDJ open, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectivesThis study aimed to evaluate the effect of fractional radiation on the mechanical properties of fluoride-releasing materials. MATERIALS AND
methodsHigh-viscosity glass ionomer cement (F9), resin-modified glass ionomer cement (F2), glass hybrid restoration (EQ), and bioactive composite (AC) were divided into 3 subgroups: 0, 35, and 70 Gy fractional radiation doses. The specimens were subjected to surface roughness, Vickers microhardness, and compressive strength tests. The chemical components and morphology of the tested specimens were observed via energy dispersive spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The data were analyzed using two-way ANOVA with Bonferroni post hoc analysis.
resultsAfter exposure to fractional radiation, the surface roughness increased in all the groups. F9 had the highest surface roughness, while AC had the lowest surface roughness within the same radiation dose. The Vickers microhardness decreased in F9 and EQ. The AC had the highest compressive strength among all the groups, followed by F2. More cracks and voids were inspected, and no substantial differences in the chemical components were observed.
conclusionsAfter fractional radiation, the surface roughness of all fluoride-releasing materials increased, while the Vickers microhardness of F9 and EQ decreased. However, the compressive strength increased only in F2 and AC.
