Evaluation of Microleakage of Different Types of Pit and Fissure Sealants: An
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. Cited by 4 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
Aim: Compare and evaluate the microleakage of different types of pit and fissure sealants, 3M ESPE Clinpro, GC Fuji Triage Capsule, and 3M ESPE Filtek Z350 XT. Materials and methods: A total of 54 freshly extracted maxillary and mandibular premolar teeth were used and randomly divided into three groups of 18 teeth each, and the following pit and fissure sealants were used: group I-Clinpro, group II-GC Fuji Triage Capsule, and group III-Filtek Z350 XT. Samples underwent thermocycling at 5° and 55°C with a dwell time of 10 seconds for 250 cycles. The apices of the teeth were sealed with impression compound, and two coats of fingernail polish were applied and immersed in 5% methylene blue dye for 24 hours and then sectioned. The sectioned specimens were then analyzed at 4× magnification under a stereomicroscope for dye penetration and were evaluated based on Williams and Winters' criteria. Results: The data were collected for statistical analysis. Descriptive statistics included mean, standard deviation (SD), frequency, and percentage. Inferential statistics included the Chi-squared test and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), followed by the Conclusion: Filtek Z350 XT exhibited the least microleakage when compared to Clinpro and GC Fuji Triage, with their mean difference statistically significant. Hence, Filtek Z350 XT can be a promising sealant and a restorative material. How to cite this article: Prabahar T, Chowdhary N, Konkappa KN,
