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: This study evaluated the color stability and surface roughness of two universal-shade compared to two nanohybrid composites after staining and external bleaching with 40% hydrogen peroxide. Methods: Two universal shade resin-based composites and two nanohybrid composites were tested. Twenty disc-shaped specimens from each material were fabricated and divided into two subgroups: one group was stained and bleached (staining group) and the other received bleaching treatment only (control group). The staining group was stained with coffee solution for 24 h. Subsequently, each sample of all four materials was bleached using an in-office bleaching gel using 40% hydrogen peroxide. Color measurements were performed using a spectrophotometer to obtain the International Commission on Illumination parameters, L*; a*; and b* for each of the following periods: baseline, after bleaching, and two weeks after bleaching for the control group. The staining group was examined at baseline, after staining, after bleaching, and two weeks after bleaching. Surface roughness (Ra) of all the materials after each treatment step were also recorded. The data was statistically analyzed using SPSS 26.0 statistical software. Changes were considered statistically significant at P = 0.05. Results: Descriptive statistics (means and standard deviations) were used to describe color measurements and surface-roughness values. Two-analysis of variance and one-way analysis of variance were used to compare the mean values of surface roughness, L*a*b*and ΔE Conclusion: Staining with coffee solution and external bleaching produced acceptable color changes for all materials tested. Staining and bleaching increased the surface roughness values of the tested resin-based composites.
