In one paragraph

Article in International journal of clinical pediatric dentistry. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06922552 (Clinical Performance of Giomer Preceded by Etching Versus Resin-Based Sealants Applied on Permanent Molars Affected by Molar-Incisor Hypo-mineralization), which is not on this map. Cited by 7 papers.

1 · What the graph read from 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.

Abstract

aimThe aim of this study is to determine the retention rate and pattern of different pit and fissure sealants placed on the occlusal surface of newly erupted first permanent molars after 3, 6, 9, and 12 months. MATERIALS AND

methodsSeventy children were enrolled in this study. They divided into seven groups (

resultsThe resin-based sealant performed better than the glass ionomer-based sealant except for the Ketac Molar Easymix. At 3 months, there was no significant difference among all the tested groups (

conclusionWith an exception of the Ketac Molar Easymix, resin-based sealers performed better than glass ionomer-based sealers. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: A proper application of pit and fissure sealant will decrease the chance for caries development in newly erupted teeth. HOW TO CITE THIS ARTICLE: Hassan AM, Mohammed SG.
