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

objectiveThis systematic review evaluates the evidence on factors affecting fluoride release from compomer restorative materials to provide clinicians with insights for optimizing their use in caries prevention.

methodsIn February 2025, an extensive digital search was conducted across reputable databases such as PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus. The search utilized carefully chosen keywords: "fluoride release" AND "compomer" and followed the PRISMA guidelines. Initially, 287 articles were identified, but after applying the inclusion criteria, 34 studies were selected for review.

resultsThis review found that fluoride release from compomers follows an initial burst phase before stabilizing at lower levels. Fifteen studies proved that compomers release less fluoride than glass ionomer cements but more than composite resins, as concluded from six studies. The release rate is significantly influenced by pH, with acidic conditions enhancing fluoride diffusion. Some studies also highlighted the potential for fluoride recharge through external applications such as toothpaste or varnish.

conclusionCompomer restorative materials offer a steady, moderate fluoride release that supports caries prevention. Their effectiveness is enhanced in acidic environments, supporting their use in high-risk patients.
