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
backgroundThis in vitro study aimed to evaluate the effect of simulated gastric fluid (SGF) and an alginate-based antacid on the surface roughness and color stability of two additively manufactured (AM) and one subtractively manufactured (SM) resin-based restorative materials.
methodsA total of 168 disc-shaped specimens (10 × 2 mm) were fabricated from two AM resin composites (Bego VarseoSmile TriniQ [AM-VS] and Saremco Crowntec [AM-C]) and one SM nano-ceramic hybrid (Voco Grandio blocs [SM-V]). Specimens were distributed into seven subgroups (n = 8) based on immersion media: distilled water (control); SGF mixed with artificial saliva (AS) at ratios of 1:1, 1:3, and 1:5; and the same mixtures with 10% alginate-based antacid (Gaviscon®). All solutions were refreshed daily and maintained at 37 °C with gentle agitation for 48 h. Surface roughness (Ra) was measured with a contact profilometer, and color stability (ΔE₀₀) was assessed with a spectrophotometer. Data were analyzed using mixed-model ANOVA and post hoc tests (α = 0.05).
resultsImmersion in SGF + AS increased ΔE₀₀ and Ra values in all materials compared with distilled water (p<.001). The highest color change was observed in AM-C at SGF + AS (1:5) (1.87 ± 0.30), whereas SM-V showed the lowest ΔE₀₀ values (1.55 ± 0.04). Surface roughness increased under acidic conditions, with AM-C exhibiting the highest Ra values (1.30 ± 0.02 μm). The alginate-based antacid significantly reduced Ra values for all materials and reduced ΔE₀₀ values in AM-C (1:3 and 1:5) and AM-VS (1:5) (p<.05), with selected antacid-containing subgroups showing values approaching those of the control.
conclusionsSimulated gastric fluid compromised the surface integrity and color stability of CAD/CAM resin-based restorative materials, with material-dependent differences. The addition of an alginate-based antacid mitigated these effects under selected experimental conditions, suggesting a potential protective role against acid-induced degradation.
