Mechanical, Antibacterial, and Physico-Chemical Properties of Three Different Polymer-Based Direct Restorative Materials: An In Vitro Study.
Article in Polymers, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07598305 (Polymer-Infiltrated Ceramic Network Versus Smart Bioactive Self-Curing Composite for Cervical Restorations in Profession-al Ballet Dancers), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
A novel resin-based bulk-fill restorative material (ST; Stela SDI, Bayswater, Victoria, Australia) has been recently introduced as a self-curing alternative to traditional light-cured composites. Promoted for its unlimited depth of cure, enhanced aesthetics, and unique primer composition, it aims to address challenges associated with amalgam and light-curing composites. Thus, the aim of this in vitro study was to investigate the performance of the new self-curing polymer-based restorative material, ST, compared to two conventional light-cured composites for direct restoration. The study evaluated compressive strength with and without aging, antibacterial activity, mineral deposition in contact with Phosphate-Buffered Saline (PBS) and artificial saliva, porosity, and wettability of ST (Tetric EvoCeram (TE; Ivoclar Vivadent, Schaan, Liechtenstein) and Clearfil Majesty ES-2 (CM; Kuraray Noritake Dental, Tokyo, Japan)). The data was statistically analyzed (α = 0.05) through one-way and two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). ST demonstrated significantly higher compressive strength than TE and CM at baseline and after aging (
