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 and Objectives: The aim of the study was to evaluate the influence of photodynamic and sonodynamic disinfection on the bond strength of caries-affected dentin bonded to three different restorative materials, i.e. Cention N, RMGIC, and Synergy D6. Methods: One hundred and eight carious and 18 noncarious teeth were collected, ground to expose affected dentin, and were arbitrarily allocated into 12 groups (n = 9). Fifty-four samples were disinfected with photodynamic therapy (PDT) and the other half with sonodynamic therapy (SDT). Samples were further randomly subdivided based on photosensitizers used methylene blue (M) (100 mg/ml) or indocyanine green (I) (500 mg/ml). Each sample was bonded to Cention N (C)/RMGIC (R)/Synergy D6 (S) and was subjected to shear bond strength (SBS) testing. Data were analyzed using ANOVA, Results: All tested materials showed the highest SBS with SDT irrespective to the dye used. Indocyanine green enhanced the SBS of all tested materials compared to methylene blue ( Conclusion: Besides their antimicrobial action, PDT and SDT techniques can augment the bond strength of carious dentin with restorative material. Nanocomposites bond stronger postdisinfection as compared to RMGIC and Cention N.
