1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundThe aim of this study is to investigate the colour stability, water absorption, and solubility values of low viscosity bulk fill resin composites that do not require an additional layer in comparison with high viscosity and low viscosity bulk fill resin composites used as a base.

methodsIn the present study, four different bulk fill resin composites were used: Charisma Bulk Flow One (Kulzer), Estelite Bulk Fill Flowable (Tokuyama), X-tra Base (VOCO), Filtek One Bulk Fill (3M ESPE). The resin composites were prepared as disc-shaped samples with a diameter of 5 mm and a thickness of 4 mm, then polymerized using a LED light device (Elipar DeepCureS, 3M ESPE). The samples were kept in artificial saliva and coffee solution for 28 days to determine water absorption, solubility levels and ∆E values, with measurements taken on days 7, 14, 21 and 28. Water absorption and solubility levels were calculated based on ISO4049:2009 specification, and mean colour change values were calculated based on CIEDE2000 formula. Repeated Measures ANOVA, along with post hoc Bonferroni, Tamhane, and Adjusted Bonferroni tests, were used for the statistical evaluation of the data (p < 0.05).

resultsAmong all composite groups at all time intervals, Charisma Bulk Flow One composite showed the highest water absorption, solubility, and discolouration values.

conclusionThe water absorption, solubility and discolouration values of the resin composites used in this study were affected by the amount of filler in the resin structure. The clinical applicability of low-viscosity bulk-fill resin composites that do not require an additional capping layer should be carefully reassessed.
