A Randomized Controlled Trial Evaluating the Clinical Performance of Bioactive Restorative Material and Resin-modified Glass Ionomer Cement in Carious Primary Molar Restorations.
Article in International journal of clinical pediatric dentistry, 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
Aim and objectives: To evaluate the clinical performance (marginal discoloration, surface texture, and retention) of bioactive restorative material (ACTIVA) and resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC) in carious primary molar restorations at 6 and 12-month intervals. Materials and methods: The split-mouth randomized controlled trial comprised 31 children aged 5-8 years having contralateral matched pair of carious primary molars with an International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS) II score 5. Sixty-two teeth were randomly allocated into two groups: group I-ACTIVA ( Statistical analysis: Mann-Whitney " Results: A statistically significant difference was found in the surface texture of ACTIVA and RMGIC restorations at both 6-month ( Conclusion: The surface texture of ACTIVA is found to be superior to RMGIC, whereas marginal discoloration and retention are similar to RMGIC at both 6 and 12-month intervals. Clinical significance: ACTIVA bioactive restorative material and RMGIC both enhance tooth remineralization with improved adhesion and fluoride release properties, making them valuable choices in various clinical scenarios.
