Perfecting the Craft: Composite Restoration Elevated With the Stamp Technique.
Article in Cureus, 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
The "stamp technique" for posterior composite restoration placements is a relatively simple method for duplicating occlusal anatomy with near perfection. Due to the sensitivity of proprioceptors in the stomatognathic system to pressure, even slight occlusal disparities resulting from direct restorations can cause discomfort for patients. This discomfort often leads patients to adjust to a new habitual occlusal position, potentially leading to significant long-term craniomandibular issues. It was initially designed to restore Class I cavities and eroded teeth, where the marginal ridge of the tooth remains undamaged. The method is suitable for teeth with preoperative intact anatomy unaffected by carious lesions. The stamp technique aims to deliver a precise and natural-looking restoration with accurate functional occlusion. This case study demonstrates the application of the stamp technique for a straightforward Class I composite restoration, with the goal of quickly replicating the occlusal anatomy by creating a model of the original, unprepared tooth structure within minutes.
