Effect of Hydrofluoric Acid Concentration on Bond Strength to Glass-Ceramics: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of In-Vitro Studies.
Synthesis in The journal of adhesive dentistry, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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 conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of in-vitro bond strength to glass-ceramics using hydrofluoric acid (HF) at lower (<5%) and higher (>5%) concentrations ([HF]) to treat ceramic surfaces.
methodsSystematic searches were carried out in PubMed, Scopus, LILACS, and Web of Science for articles published through July 2021, and a meta-analysis was performed to estimate the combined effect by comparing the differences between the standardized means of the bond strengths of the evaluated materials.
resultsIn total, 943 articles were found, of which 17 studies were selected for qualitative analysis and 12 for quantitative analysis. The bond strength to glass-ceramics using 4% to 5% HF did not differ from that using 7% to 10% HF for the following HF etching times and glass-ceramic materials: 20 s for lithium-disilicate (Z = 0.65, p = 0.51), 60 s for feldspathic (Z = 0.53, p = 0.60), and 60 s for leucite (Z = 0.72, p = 0.35).
conclusionThe lower concentration HF (<5%) etchant is a reliable surface treatment for adhesive bonding to glass-ceramics with satisfactory bond strength in short-term evaluations.
