Effect of energy drinks on the surface microhardness of bulk fill resins. In vitro study.
Article in Journal of clinical and experimental dentistry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: The study aimed to compare the surface changes of Filtek Z350XT, Filtek Bulk Fill, and Opus Bulk Fill resins immersed in Maltin Power® and Volt® energy drinks using surface microhardness testing. Material and Methods: This experimental study evaluated two types of bulk fill resins and Filtek resin (control). Forty-eight resin discs measuring 4x4 mm were prepared and soaked in 20 ml of an energy drink for 10 minutes daily for 7 and 30 days. Surface microhardness was assessed using the Vickers microhardness method. Repeated samples were analyzed using the ANOVA test, and multiple comparisons were conducted using the Bonferroni test. Finally, the Kruskal-Wallis test also was applied ( Results: The decrease in surface microhardness of the three resins exposed to the two energy drinks was significant ( Conclusions: Immersion in the energy drinks changed the surface microhardness of bulk fill resins after 7 and 30 days. Both clinicians and patients should consider these findings when determining the consumption frequency of these beverages.
