A comparison of microleakage in self-etch fissure sealants and conventional fissure sealants with total-etch or self-etch adhesive systems.
Article in European journal of dentistry. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05606874 (Retention Rate and Caries Preventive Effect of Preheated Flowable Resin Composite Used as a Pit and Fissure Sealant Versus Conventional Resin-based Fissure Sealant in Patients With Permanent Molars With Deep Pit and Fissure Over One Year Follow up. A Randomized Clinical Trial), which is not on this map. Cited by 8 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.

Abstract
objectiveThe present study was conducted to compare microleakage in self-etching fissure sealants and conventional fissure sealants with total-etch or self-etch adhesive systems. SETTINGS AND
designThis experimental MATERIALS AND
methodsAn incision was made on the teeth after they were immersed in methylene blue 5%. The samples were then examined under a stereomicroscope and the dye penetration rate was measured based on the Williams and Winter criteria. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS USED: The Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests were used for data analysis in SPSS-18 (
resultsGroup 1 which was treated with the conventional technique (acid + fissure sealant) had the highest rate of microleakage compared to Groups 2 and 3 (
conclusionThe results showed that the use of bonding results in a significant reduction in the microleakage of fissure sealants. The microleakage caused when using self-etch fissure sealant was not different from that caused by the use of the conventional method.
