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
objectiveEffective bond strength of composite resin restoration leads to its durability, so evaluation of dentin surface treatment with enzymes and laser for higher bond strength is an important factor. MATERIALS AND
methodsSixty human molar teeth were cut at a depth of 2 mm of occlusal part and divided into six groups (n = 10). G1: etched with 37% phosphoric, G2 and G3: 10% papain or bromelain enzymes were used on the dentinal surface, G4: 10% papain and bromelain enzyme mixture were used for. Then, the specimens were washed with distilled water. In G5 and G6: Er:YAG or Co2 lasers were used on the dentin surface. An adhesive system was applied and then nanohybrid composite was placed in teflon mold and light cured. Samples were subjected to a shear bond strength (SBS) test by universal testing machines. Statistical analysis was performed, using one-way analysis of variance and Tukey HSD tests (p < .05).
resultsThe mean SBS in G1 was significantly higher in comparison with the other groups (p < .0001). On the other hand, a comparison of mean SBS between groups 2, 3, 4, and 5 shows no significant differences (p = .221). The mean SBS in group 6 (Co2 laser) was significantly lower in comparison with the other groups (p < .0001).
conclusionResults showed that SBS of composite resin to dentin was not significantly affected, using either bromelain or papain 10% enzymes or erbium laser. Co2 laser had a negative effect on dentin and decreased the SBS. Phosphoric acid has the best result.
