Silver Nanoparticles (AgNPs) Incorporation into Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA) for Dental Appliance Fabrication: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Mechanical Properties.
Synthesis in International journal of molecular sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), widely used in orthodontics and dentures, exhibits suboptimal mechanical properties, including flexural strength (FS), impact strength (IS), and tensile strength (TS), which are critical for ensuring durability, resistance to fracture, and overall functionality of dental appliances. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are a promising filler due to their antimicrobial properties. This pre-registered (osf.io/yqftx) PRISMA-compliant meta-analysis compared the mechanical properties of PMMA/AgNP composites to pure PMMA, considering mean particle size and concentration. Of 360 records from ACM, BASE, PubMed, and Scopus, 35 studies were included (κ = 0.91), covering 88, 38, and 11 tests on FS, IS, and TS, respectively. FS increased only between 30-70 nm (
