In vitro comparative effects of alcohol-containing and alcohol-free mouthwashes on surface roughness of bulk-fill composite resins.
Article in BMC research notes, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
objectivesThis study aimed to compare the effects of alcohol-containing and alcohol-free mouthwashes on the surface roughness of bulk-fill composite resins. In this in-vitro, experimental study, 60 composite specimens measuring 6 mm in diameter and 2 mm in height were fabricated from Tetric N-Ceram and X-tra fil composite resins using a stainless-steel mold. After curing for 20 s, the specimens were immersed in distilled water and incubated at 37 °C for 24 h. Baseline roughness was measured before dividing them into three groups for immersion in water, alcohol-containing, or alcohol-free Listerine for 24 h, simulating two years of use. The specimens were then dried at room temperature, and their surface roughness was measured again. Data was analyzed by two-way ANOVA and t-test (α = 0.05).
resultsNo significant change occurred in surface roughness of specimens after immersion in the respective solutions (P > 0.05). The type of composite and the type of solution had no significant effect on the surface roughness of specimens (P > 0.05). The results showed that Listerine alcohol-containing and alcohol-free mouthwashes had no significant effect on the surface roughness of the tested bulk-fill composite resins and no significant difference with each other in this respect.
