Composite Restoration Longevity in Children with Early Childhood Caries: A Retrospective Study.
Article in Journal of pharmacy & bioallied sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Early Childhood Caries (ECC) is a prevalent and aggressive form of dental decay affecting young children. Composite resin restorations are a common treatment choice, but their long-term success in young patients remains variable. Objective: To evaluate the longevity of composite restorations in children with ECC and identify factors associated with restoration survival or failure. Methods: This retrospective study included 90 pediatric patients with ECC who received composite restorations. Restoration survival was assessed through chart reviews and clinical evaluations. Data on restoration type, tooth location, caries severity, oral hygiene status, and follow-up duration were collected. Statistical analysis was performed to determine survival rates and factors influencing restoration longevity. Results: Out of 270 restorations in 90 children, 73.3% remained intact after 24 months. Anterior restorations had higher survival (81.9%) compared to posterior (64.4%, Conclusion: Composite restorations in young children show moderate longevity, with survival strongly influenced by tooth location, oral hygiene, and initial caries risk. Emphasizing preventive care and regular follow-ups is critical to enhancing restoration success in children with ECC.
