Erosive Resistance of High-Translucency Resin Composites: New Insights for Esthetic Dentistry.
Review in Journal of clinical and experimental 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
Background: Acidic beverages can compromise the performance of resin composites by altering their mechanical properties. This study evaluated the effect of an energy drink on the microhardness and surface roughness of five high-translucency resin composites. Material and Methods: An in vitro experimental design was performed using Filtek Z350 XT Translucent, Forma Trans, PALFIQUE LX5 CE, Beautifil II Inc, and Opallis T-Neutral. Disc specimens (n = 5 per group) were light-cured with an LED unit and polished. The samples were immersed daily for 10 minutes in Red Bull® over 30 days and stored in artificial saliva between immersions. Microhardness (VMH) was measured using a 50 g load applied for 15 s, while surface roughness (Ra) was determined with a contact profilometer. Normality and homogeneity were assessed with Shapiro-Wilk and Brown-Forsythe tests. Two-way repeated-measures ANOVA with Bonferroni correction and Kruskal-Wallis with Dunn's post hoc were applied ( = 0.05). Results: All composites exhibited a progressive decrease in microhardness and an increase in surface roughness. Filtek Z350 XT Translucent maintained the highest hardness, whereas Forma Trans demonstrated the greatest stability with less deterioration. Beautifil II Inc showed the most pronounced changes in both variables, while PALFIQUE LX5 CE displayed balanced behavior and Opallis T-Neutral showed intermediate results. Statistically significant effects of resin type, immersion time, and their interaction were observed for both VMH and Ra (p<0.001). Conclusions: In conclusion, daily exposure to Red Bull® negatively affected all resin composites tested. Beautifil II Inc proved the most susceptible, while nanocluster and zirconia containing materials exhibited greater resistance to acidic degradation.
