Factors influencing the retention rate of resin based pit and fissure sealant among primary school children- A randomised clinical trial.
Article in Journal of oral biology and craniofacial research. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: In modern dentistry, the focus is more on preventing caries than treating them, which helps preserve tooth structure. There is an approximately 50 % prevalence of caries on the occlusal surface in school children. Pits and fissures with irregularities and invasions are responsible for this. In dentistry, to overcome these problems, different sealant technique is introduced, for instance, the conventional method, using a bur, using air abrasion, etc. Therefore, this clinical trial was designed to evaluate the retention rate of sealant using different application techniques. Methodology: The present Randomised clinical trial included 50 children aged 6-9 from a primary school children based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The contralateral 1st mandibular molar teeth were divided randomly before placing sealant with two different techniques. Results: The results obtained showed that there was a statistically highly significant difference in mean scores at the end of the 1st, 3rd, 9th, and 12th months of pit and fissure sealant application done with altered morphology without the use of bonding agent compared to altered morphology with bonding agent. Conclusion: The present study showed that sealant retention was higher in the altered morphology without bonding agent group compared to the altered morphology with bonding agent.
