Surfactant-Decorated Microcrystalline Cellulose: A Perspective Filler for Denture Artificial Teeth.
Article in ACS omega, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This study investigated the effects of surfactant-coated microcrystalline cellulose (surfactant-MCC) on poly-(methyl methacrylate)-based artificial teeth. This is the first study to use surfactant-MCC as a filler in PMMA-based denture materials. The prepared surfactant-MCC was mixed with PMMA powder at 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2% w/w, yielding groups A, B, C, D, and E, respectively. Samples were characterized through FTIR, SEM, and contact angle measurements. Mechanical and surface properties were evaluated using a universal testing machine (UTM) and a microhardness testing machine. The physical and antimicrobial properties were assessed. The addition of surfactant-MCC improved surface homogeneity, compressive strength, and hardness while reducing water sorption. The composites also exhibited good antimicrobial properties. Although the flexural strength decreased slightly, it remained within the ISO standards. These findings suggest that surfactant-MCC incorporation can enhance the overall performance of artificial teeth.
