The effects of a carbonated beverage on the optical properties and microhardness of preheated bulk-fill composite resin restorations.
Article in Frontiers in oral health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Introduction: Preheating the high-viscosity forms of bulk-fill resin composites is recommended to enhance their flow and adaptability. Nevertheless, the impact of preheating on their characteristics upon exposure to carbonated beverages remains unclear. This study aims to evaluate the effect of a Cola beverage on the properties of preheated and non-preheated high-viscosity bulk-fill composite resins Methods: Forty disc-shaped specimens were prepared from each of BEAUTIFIL-Bulk Restorative (BB) and Filtek One Bulk-fill (FOB) composite resin, then divided into two groups ( Results: The color change was significantly higher in BB than FOB in all groups ( Conclusion: Although the preheating of high-viscosity bulk-fill composites significantly improved their microhardness and improved the surface gloss of FOB, it did not protect both composites against the Cola drink attack. Preheated FOB showed improved color stability after the Cola immersion, but not to a clinically acceptable limit.
