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
backgroundThis study investigated the effect of a 45% carbamide peroxide-containing office-type bleaching agent on the microhardness (MH) and surface roughness (SR) of flowable and paste-type bulk-fill composite resins.
methodsThis study used two bulk-fill composite resins, 3 M Filtek Bulk-Fill (paste) and Estelite Bulk-Fill Flow (flowable). Twenty disc-shaped specimens were prepared and divided into two groups according to the type of bulk-fill materials. All samples were stored at room temperature for 24 h with artificial saliva. Initial MH and surface SR values were measured. High-concentration office-type (HCOT) bleaching agent was applied to the samples for 30 min, and then the same procedure was repeated after one week. Following completion of bleaching procedures, final MH and surface SR values were evaluated. The MH values were analyzed by ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis tests was used for SR values with a significance of 0.05.
resultsA statistically significant difference was found between the MH values of the groups before and after bleaching (p = .002). SR value of 3 M Filtek Bulk-Fill was found statistically higher than Estelite Bulk-Fill Flow after or before bleaching treatment. Statistically significant difference was found SR value of 3 M Filtek Bulk-Fill when compared to before and after bleaching procedures (p = .024).
conclusionsBleaching with high-concentration office-type material significantly reduced the MH of both bulk-fill composites. While HCOT was applied, Estelite Bulk-Fill Flow did not cause a significant change in surface SR. In contrast, the SR value of 3 M Filtek Bulk-Fill was statistically higher. Therefore, if bleaching with a high-concentration office-type bleaching material is planned, it is recommended not to use 3 M Filtek Bulk-Fill as a restorative material, or it may be recommended to renew existing composite resin restorations after bleaching treatment.
