Effect of polyethylene and glass fibers on fracture resistance of large MOD composite restorations.
Article in Dental research journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Background: Fracture resistance of maxillary premolars with deep MOD cavities restored using resin composite, fibers (Ribbond and Angelus), and cuspal coverage with composite is of importance. Materials and Methods: This experimental study divided 55 sound maxillary premolars into five groups. Group 1: intact teeth. MOD cavities with an occlusal depth of 5 mm, an axial depth of 1.5 mm, and a buccolingual width of 3 mm were prepared in the remaining teeth, Group 2: teeth restored with composite by incremental technique (Bisco Aelite Posterior), Group 3: Ribbond fiber, Group 4: Angelus fiber, and Group 5: 2-mm cuspal reduction and coverage with composite. They were subjected to a fracture strength test after 1000 thermocycles and 100,000 chewing cycles. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance, Tukey, and Chi-square tests. A significance level of Results: The fracture strength of the control group, cuspal coverage, and Ribbond fiber were significantly higher than the composite group ( Conclusion: The use of Ribbond fiber, Angelus fiber, and cuspal coverage significantly increased the fracture strength of composite restorations compared to conventional composite in deep MOD of maxillary premolars. In addition, the Ribbond fiber resulted in a more favorable failure pattern, similar to that of intact teeth.
