Progression of Enamel Demineralisation Around Fissure Sealants: Optical Coherence Tomography Study.
Article in Oral health & preventive dentistry, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
purposeTo evaluate the progression of enamel demineralisation around fissure sealants using cross-polarisation optical coherence tomography (CP-OCT). MATERIALS AND
methodsThree fissure sealants; Fuji Triage (FJ, GC), Beautisealant (BT, Shofu) and Helioseal resin sealant (HL, Ivoclar Vivadent) were placed in cavities (3 × 0.5 × 1 mm) prepared in bovine enamel blocks (n = 5). After 7-day artificial saliva incubation, specimens were subjected to demineralisation for 4 weeks (pH 4.5). CP-OCT scans (Santec) were acquired for each specimen after 1, 2 and 4 weeks of demineralisation and lesions were quantitatively measured to analyse lesion progression.
resultsRepeated-measures ANOVA demonstrated that lesion size was statistically significantly affected by demineralisation period, fissure sealant type, and their interaction (P < 0.001). At 4 weeks, the highest mean value of lesion size was observed in HL group while FJ group showed the lowest. The rate of lesion progression was slower in FJ and statistically significantly different from BT (P < 0.05), which in turn was statistically significantly different than HL (P < 0.001).
conclusionFissure sealants that actively release ions are capable of improving the acid resistance of adjacent enamel. Beautisealant showed increased demineralisation inhibition compared to conventional resin sealant, but less than that provided by glass-ionomer sealant.
