Evaluation of the efficiency of fluoride-releasing adhesives for preventing secondary caries in-vitro: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in European archives of paediatric dentistry : official journal of the European Academy of Paediatric Dentistry, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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 evaluate the efficiency of fluoride-releasing adhesives for the prevention of secondary caries on in-vitro tests. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis study was performed according to the PRISMA checklist. The bibliographic research was performed to identify in-vitro studies between January 2000 and September 2017. The selected studies were submitted to bias risk assessment and data extraction. In the meta-analysis the data were evaluated using Review Manager Software.
resultsThe 11 studies that met all inclusion criteria showed that the most common risks of bias were: absence of the sample size calculation description, absence of the single operator protocol and blind operation of the test machine. The meta-analysis was performed with six studies that used polarised light microscopy in order to quantify the mineral content of dentine and presented the values as means and standard deviations.
conclusionsMost of the authors presented that the fluoride-containing adhesive systems had a significant effect to reduce in-vitro secondary caries. The meta-analysis did not present statistical difference between fluoride-free and fluoride-containing adhesive systems. The artificial caries challenge methodology may have affected the results.
