Color stability of a novel self-cure bulk-fill composite compared to light-cure bulk-fill and injectable composite resins.
Article in BMC oral health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07598305 (Polymer-Infiltrated Ceramic Network Versus Smart Bioactive Self-Curing Composite for Cervical Restorations in Profession-al Ballet Dancers), which is not on this 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
objectiveThis study aimed to assess the color stability of a novel self-cure bulk-fill composite (automix and capsule forms), in comparison to a light-cure bulk-fill composite and a conventional flowable composite after immersion in common beverages. MATERIALS AND
methodsFour composite resins (Stela Automix, Stela Capsule, Filtek Bulk Fill Flowable, and G-ænial Universal Injectable) were evaluated on 160 disc-shaped specimens. Specimens were randomly assigned to four subgroups (n = 10) and immersed in tea, coffee, cola, or distilled water (control). Color measurements were performed using a spectrophotometer at baseline, 6 and 12 days, and color changes (ΔE₀₀) were calculated using the CIEDE2000 formula. Statistical analyses were performed using one-way ANOVA with Tukey's post-hoc tests and paired sample T-tests to evaluate time-dependent changes (p < 0.05).
resultsAll composites showed increased discoloration over time, with coffee causing the most significant color change, followed by cola, while tea had a milder effect. Self-cure bulk-fill composites showed significantly higher ΔE₀₀ values than their light-cure composites. Stela Automix showed the greatest color change after Stela Capsule.
conclusionThe results suggest that self-cure bulk-fill composites have lower color stability than light-cure composites. Filler characteristics, particularly particle size and loading, have a greater influence on color stability than resin matrix composition.
