Effect of Er: YAG laser etching on shear bond strength of orthodontic bracket.
Article in Saudi medical journal, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
objectivesTo evaluate and compare the shear bond strength (SBS) of Erbium laser etched enamel to acid etched and to detect morphological changes on laser etched enamel surface using scanning electron microscope (SEM). Moreover, Laser induced caries resistance is advantageous in Orthodontics.
methodsThis is an Ex vivo study between January 2016 and December 2017, which comprises a total of 50 human premolars, extracted for orthodontic purpose, were used in this study. The samples were randomly divided into 2 groups of 25 each. The first group was etched using 37% phosphoric for 30 seconds. As for the second group, enamel was treated by Er: YAG laser operating at wavelength 2.94µm, power 1.5W and repetition rate 15Hz. Five teeth from each group were selected for SEM evaluation and the study were continued on 20 teeth from each group.Teeth were subjected to shear bond strength test.
resultsIt showed, no-significant difference between the mean of shear bond strength and of the etched groups (p=0.016).
conclusionIt was concluded that, laser etched group (1.5W/15Hz) resulted in clinically accepted bond strength and could be an alternative to conventional acid etching.
