Analyzing Color, Surface Roughness, and Microhardness on the Unpolished and Polished Surfaces of Occlusal Splint Materials From Conventional and CAD-CAM Fabrication Methods.
Article in International journal of dentistry, 2026. 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
Purpose: To evaluate the color, surface roughness, and microhardness of occlusal splints fabricated using conventional and CAD-CAM techniques and to compare the properties of the unpolished and polished surfaces. Materials and Methods: A total of 114 specimens (10 × 10 × 5 mm Results: Significant variations were observed in color, surface roughness, and microhardness across the six materials ( Conclusion: Occlusal splint materials fabricated using different techniques had significant differences in color, surface roughness, and microhardness. The ML-B occlusal splint showed the best overall performance, with high
