Evaluation of Proximal Contact Tightness in Anterior Resin Composite Restorations: A Comparative
Article in Journal of International Society of Preventive & Community Dentistry. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Aim: Proximal contact tightness (PCT) is critical for periodontal health, stability, and longevity of restorations. However, limited evidence exists comparing PCT in anterior restorations using injectable and flowable resin composites with transparent silicone indices versus universal composites with a putty index. This study compared the PCT of injectable resin composites (IJ), flowable resin composites (FL), and universal resin composites (U) in Class IV anterior restorations. Methods: Forty-five standardized Class IV restorations were performed on typodont models by an experienced restorative dentist, divided into three groups ( Results: The U group achieved the highest mean PCT force (5.05 ± 1.73 N, Conclusion: Universal composites with a putty index provide superior PCT in Class IV restorations compared to injectable and flowable composites with transparent silicone indices. Clinicians using injectable or flowable composites should consider additional adjustments to optimize PCT. Future research should validate the effects of shrinkage and variability on PCT.
