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 was to examine the effect of three polishing systems (TwistDia, SuperSnap, and Opti 1Step) and additional polishing on the surface roughness and color change of two universal resin composites (OptiShade and Omnichroma) immersed in coffee.

methodsA total of 80 samples were prepared, 40 samples for each of the resin composites (n:10). For the control group no polishing step was applied. Other samples were polished using Twist Dia, Opti 1Step, or SuperSnap. The baseline (T0) surface roughness and color parameters of the samples were measured. After the samples were immersed in coffee for 12 days (T1), and after the surface of the samples was polished, each sample were measured (T2).

resultsIn both universal resin composites, the lowest surface roughness values were obtained from the control group (p < 0.05). The highest surface roughness values were observed in the group polished with SuperSnap of OptiShade resin, both after immersed in coffee and after additional polishing(p < 0.05). İt was observed that samples prepared with OptiShade resin composite samples generally showed lower ΔE values compared than the other resin composites.

conclusionsAdditional polishing applications, caused changes in color parameters and increases in surface roughness in single shade resin composites, although not statistically significant.
