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
The impact of common cleaning solutions on the mechanical properties of clear orthodontic aligners made from PET-G, polyurethane and resin-based materials is of interest. Nanoindentation tests measured elastic modulus, hardness, elastic index and load relaxation after exposure to Retainer Brite®, Fresh Guard® and artificial saliva. The results showed that peroxide-based cleaners significantly degrade aligner properties, while Fresh Guard® causes moderate changes and artificial saliva has minimal effects. Resin-based aligners showed superior chemical stability, making them more resistant to cleaning agents. Thus, mild cleaners are recommended for maintaining aligner performance.
