Effect of hydrofluoric acid and self-etch ceramic primers on the flexural strength and fatigue resistance of glass ceramics: A systematic review and meta-analysis of
Review in The Japanese dental science review, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
This systematic review evaluated the effect of different hydrofluoric acid (HF) etching regimens and a self-etch ceramic primer (SECP) on the flexural strength (FS) and fatigue failure load (FFL) of glass-ceramic materials.The identification of relevant studies was conducted by two authors in five databases: PubMED, Scopus, Web Of Science, LILACS and Virtual Health Library (BVS) until July 2022 with no year limit. The analysis was conducted in RevMan 5.4.1 Software (Cochrane Collaboration) using Random effect model at 5 %. The risk of bias of the included studies were assessed. From the 5349 articles identified, 34 were included for quantitative analysis. Meta-analysis showed that for predominantly glassy ceramics, etching with HF 5 % had no significant impact on FS, however, HF acid etching with concentrations greater than 5 % negatively impacted FS. For lithium disilicate glass-ceramics (LDGC) HF acid etching, negatively influenced FS, while increasing the FFL. HF etching negatively affected FS of hybrid ceramics. The self-etch ceramic primer and HF acid etching showed a similar impact on FFL and FS. This meta-analysis indicates that the impact of SECP and HF acid etching on the mechanical behavior of glass ceramics is material-dependent.
