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
introductionThis study investigated the effect of pressure variations to which divers are subjected on shear bond strength of orthodontic brackets bonded to teeth with resin modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC) or composite resin.
methodsEighty extracted premolars were randomly divided into two groups. Group 1: orthodontic brackets were bonded with RMGIC. Group 2: orthodontic brackets were bonded with composite resin. Each group was further divided into two subgroups. Subgroup A: The samples were kept at sea level pressure (101 kPa). Subgroup B: The samples were pressurised once from 101 kPa to 405 kPa for five minutes, then depressurised to 101 kPa. Shear bond strength was then measured.
resultsShear bond strength of brackets bonded with RMGIC in the simulated diving group was significantly less than that of ambient pressure group (P = 0.019), while no significant difference was found between the simulated diving group and ambient pressure group for brackets bonded with resin cement (P = 0.935). At ambient pressure, there was no significant difference between shear bond strength of brackets bonded with RMGIC and composite resin (P = 0.83). In simulated diving conditions, there was a statistically significant difference between shear bond strength of brackets bonded with the RMGIC and composite (P = 0.009).
conclusionsPressure changes during scuba diving may have an adverse effect on the retention of brackets bonded with RMGIC. Using composite resin for bonding brackets appears to be good strategy for patients such as divers who will be exposed to pressurised environments.
