Comparative Micro-CT Analysis of Internal Adaptation and Closed Porosity of Conventional Layered and Thermoviscous Bulk-Fill Resin Composites Using Total-Etch or Universal Adhesives.
Article in Polymers, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.

Abstract
Reliable adaptation in Class II resin-based composite (RBC) restorations with margins on cementum remains challenging. This study compared the internal adaptation (IA) and closed porosity (CP) of three restorative strategies for such cavities, using either total-etch or self-etch adhesive approaches. Standardized box-only cavities were prepared on both proximal surfaces of 30 extracted molars, applying self-etch on mesial and total-etch on distal cavities. Group 1 used a layered microhybrid RBC; Group 2 used a flowable RBC base beneath a layered microhybrid RBC; and Group 3 used a thermoviscous RBC in a 4 mm bulk increment. Micro-computed tomography was employed to assess IA and CP. ANOVA, Tukey post hoc, and univariate analyses were used to evaluate group differences and the effects of adhesive/restorative strategies. Group 2 demonstrated the best adaptation (0.10%), whereas Group 3 exhibited the highest internal gap ratio (0.63%) and the lowest CP (
