A randomized controlled trial of the effectiveness of a one-step conditioning agent in fissure sealant placement: 12 month results.
Trial report in European archives of paediatric dentistry : official journal of the European Academy of Paediatric Dentistry, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
aimTo compare the retention of fissure sealants (FS) placed on occlusal surfaces following use of a self etching priming agent and traditional acid etch and to compare the caries incidence of occlusal surfaces sealed using the two techniques over 12 months. STUDY
designA randomised controlled trial set in Community Dental Service and Dental Hospital clinics (UK). MATERIALS AND
methodsSubjects (60) were recruited by 7 dental professionals who placed FS on mandibular permanent molar pairs. The technique used for enamel preparation prior to FS placement on the right and left side of the mandible was randomised. On one side of the mandible Xeno III (Dentsply, Germany) was used to prepare the occlusal enamel and on the other side phosphoric acid etch together with Prime and Bond (Dentsply, Germany) was used. Opaque Delton (Dentsply, USA) was used to seal all surfaces. Subjects were blinded to the techniques used. Subjects and operators recorded on individual questionnaires their impressions of the techniques used. STATISTICS: Results were analysed using the SPSS statistics package.
resultsThirty eight (63%) subjects were seen for review by the principal researcher 12 months after FS placement. The retention was significantly better in the etch group (P=0.003). No statistically significant difference in caries incidence was found between the test and control groups at 12 months.
conclusionsThe best practice for placement of sealants remains enamel preparation with acid etch and use of an intermediate bonding layer.
