Clinical evaluation of a surface pre-reacted glass (S-PRG) filler-containing dental sealant placed with a self-etching primer/adhesive.
Trial report in European archives of paediatric dentistry : official journal of the European Academy of Paediatric Dentistry, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map.

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

Abstract
aimsTo clinically evaluate the retention rates and caries-prevention effect of a resin-based, non-etch and rinse, self-etch primed pit and fissure sealant containing Sealant Pre-reacted Glass Ionomer Cement (S-PRG) fillers, in comparison to a conventional resin-based sealant over an 18-month period.
methodsThere were 81 children, aged 6-12 years old, who were randomly assigned to one of two sealant-groups, either the self-etch primed sealant (Beautisealant, Shofu) or the conventional etch and rinse sealant (Seal it, Spident). A total of 218 sealants of both groups were placed on first permanent molars with either sound surfaces (The International Caries Detection and Assessment System [ICDAS], code 0) or incipient enamel caries lesions (ICDAS code 1) according to the manufacturers' instructions. Each sealant restoration was independently evaluated in terms of retention and caries status at 6, 12 and 18 months. The data were statistically analysed with the Chi-squared test and z-test and the level of significance was preset at α = 0.05.
resultsThe differences between the complete retention rates of the two sealant groups were statistically significant in all periods of evaluation (p < 0.01). Survival rates of each sealant-group were comparable on sound (ICDAS 0) and enamel caries lesions (ICDAS1). Caries prevention effect of the two sealant groups was similar at the end of the evaluation period.
conclusionsThe clinical performance of the S-PRG filler-containing dental sealant placed with a self-etching primer was poor regarding its retention. Its significantly higher loss did not lead to more carious occlusal surfaces at the 18-month recall.
