The role of etching protocols on bond strength of universal adhesives applied to caries affected dentin: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

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
objectivesThis systematic review aimed to detect whether acid etching pretreatment would enhance the bond strength of universal adhesives (UAs) to caries-affected dentin before and after aging. METHODOLOGY: Two independent researchers reviewed materials published until August 2024 in five databases (Web of Science, PubMed, SciELO, Scopus, Science Direct, and Cochrane Library). The eligibility criteria contained in vitro studies that assessed the bond strength of UAs to caries-affected dentin using etch-and-rinse and self-etch modes, with or without aging. Statistical meta-analysis was performed using inverse variance method by the Review Manager program (p < 0.05).
resultsIn total, 26 studies were included in the quantitative analysis. Studies have mostly focused on mild UAs. The application of acid etching did not impact the bond strength of ultra-mild and mild UAs (p > 0.05). Aging considerably reduced the bond strength of mild UAs in etch-and-rinse or self-etch modes (p < 0.05). Bond strength to caries-affected dentin was considerably lower than that to sound dentin in both etching modes (p < 0.05).
conclusionsPretreatment with phosphoric acid did not affect the bond strength of mild and ultra-mild UAs to caries-affected dentin. The aging process led to a decrease in the bond strength of mild UAs to caries-affected dentin, irrespective of the application strategy.
