1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

This study aimed to investigate the internal void formation of two single-shade bulk-fill flowable composite resin and a high-strength restorative composite at different thickness levels by 3D micro-computed tomography (CT) analysis. Two different single-shade flowable bulk-fill composite resins (Charisma Bulk Flow One-CH and Omnichroma Flow Bulk-OM), and a high-strength restorative composite (G-aenial Universal Injectable-INJ) were used in this study. Cylinder-shaped samples were prepared at three different thicknesses (2, 4, and 6 mm) from each test material (n = 3). Samples were scanned utilising a micro-CT device, and internal voids of the materials were evaluated. Data were analyzed with Jamovi v2.7.6 and Mi nitab v14. Robust ANOVA was applied when normality was not met for the interaction between material and thickness. Multiple comparisons were analyzed with Holm-corrected robust t-test. Generalized linear models were used when normal distribution was met. Multiple comparisons were employed with Tukey test. Significance level was set as p < 0.05. Material*thickness interaction did not significantly affect total porosity percentages of the tested groups (p > 0.05), whereas it influenced total number of voids significantly (p < 0.001). Regardless of different thicknesses, the composite resin's median total porosity and the number of total void values from the lowest to the highest total porosity percentages were as follows: INJ < OM < CH. The total number of voids increased as the thickness increased for the bulk-fill composite resins. Single-shade bulk-fill composite resins exhibited higher total porosity values.
