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
This study investigated the color stability and surface roughness of three novel single-shade universal composites after exposure to common staining solutions. A total of 120 specimens (n = 40 per composite) were fabricated from Transcend Universal Composite (TRA), Ecosite One (ECO), and Clearfil Majesty ES-2 Universal (CLA). Specimens were stored at 37 °C in four different staining solutions (artificial saliva, coffee, red wine, matcha tea). Color changes (ΔE₀₀) were assessed at five time points using the eLAB system, and surface roughness (Sa, Sz) was analyzed via 3D laser scanning microscopy. Statistical analysis was performed using a linear mixed model and post-hoc test (Tukey) (p < 0.05). Composite type, staining solution, and exposure duration significantly affected discoloration (p < 0.001). Red wine induced the most pronounced color change (ECO: ΔE₀₀ = 38.9 ± 1.56), while coffee and matcha tea caused similar discoloration (p = 0.164). TRA showed the greatest surface roughness increase; no correlation with color change was observed. The color stability of single-shade composites is influenced by resin matrix composition and staining agent exposure. Tri-modal or nanohybrid composites showed greater color stability than the micro hybrid composite. Surface roughness did not impact discoloration susceptibility.
