Impact of Ceramic Composition and Thickness on Light Transmission in CAD/CAM Lithium Disilicate Materials: An In Vitro Study.
Article in International journal of dentistry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 investigates light transmission through five types of computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) lithium disilicate ceramics, varying in thickness (0.50, 1.00, and 1.50 mm). A total of 150 specimens (10 per group) were fabricated using both traditional and novel ceramic materials: E.max CAD (traditional), n!ce Straumann and LiSi Block GC (fully-crystallized), and Amber Mill and Cerec Tessera (precrystallized). After polishing, light transmission was measured using a curing radiometer and surface microstructures were examined with scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The data were analyzed using two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with Tukey's post hoc tests. Results revealed that light intensity decreased as the ceramic thickness increased, regardless of the material type. Amber Mill (0.50 mm) exhibited the highest light intensity at 537 mW/cm
