Polywave LEDs increase the degree of conversion of composite resins, but not adhesive systems: a systematic review and meta-analysis of in vitro studies.

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
This study aimed to systematically review the literature for laboratory studies that evaluated the influence of mono- and polywave light-emitting diode (LED) devices on the degree of conversion (DC) of composite resins and adhesive systems. A search of three electronic databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus) and using Google Scholar was conducted through June 2024 to identify eligible studies that compared monowave and polywave LED devices on the DC of composite resins and adhesive systems. Studies that evaluated DC using indirect methods, material other than composite resin and adhesive system, and missing DC values as mean and standard deviation were excluded. Meta-analysis was performed at a significance level of ≤ 0.05 comparing DC values (mean and standard deviation) produced by LEDs. Heterogeneity was quantified using I
