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
aimThis study was undertaken to compare direct composite resin restorations (DCRR) and indirect composite resin restorations (ICRR) for treating permanent first molars affected by MIH in terms of clinical performance. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis was a controlled, randomized, clinical split-mouth study. The studied sample consisted of 40 asymptomatic first permanent hypomineralised mandibular molars in 20 children aged between 7-11 years, these cases were divided randomly into two groups: Group 1 (experimental): 20 first permanent mandibular molars were restored with ICRR, and Group 2 (control): 20 first permanent mandibular molars that were restored with DCRR. The cavity was prepared using a diamond bur on a high-speed handpiece, and the prepared cavity was wiped with cotton moistened with sodium hypochlorite. The composite was applied directly with a total-etch bonding system. In the ICRR group, an impression for the prepared cavity was taken using a silicon-based material, and the restoration was adhesive with self-adhesive resin cement. The child's satisfaction with each of the two application techniques was assessed through the scale FACES. Restorations were evaluated during follow-up periods (3, 6, and 12 months) according to Modified USHPH criteria.
resultsThe clinical success rate was 90% in the ICRR group versus 85% in the DCRR group after 12 months of follow-up without statistically significant differences (P = 0.218). Children were significantly more satisfied (P = 0.0351) with ICRR than DCRR.
conclusionsBoth DCRR and ICRR can be considered effective restorations with acceptable clinical performance in the restoration of hypomineralised first permanent molars with an advantage of ICRR in terms of child acceptance of the restoration application technique.
