Effect of Manual, Electric, and Sonic Toothbrushing on Retention and Surface Integrity of Resin-Based Sealants.
Article in International journal of dentistry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: Fissure sealants are a proven strategy to prevent occlusal caries in children, but their long-term success depends on mechanical stability. While toothbrush efficacy in plaque removal has been extensively studied, its potential impact on sealant retention and surface integrity remains underexplored. This in vitro study assessed the effect of manual, electric, and sonic toothbrushing on the shear bond strength (SBS) and surface roughness of resin-based sealants. Methods: Sixty flat enamel specimens were obtained from bovine teeth and divided into three groups ( Results: No statistically significant differences in SBS were found among the groups ( Conclusion: Toothbrush type did not affect sealant adhesion under controlled conditions, but sonic brushing increased surface wear. These findings support regular monitoring of sealants in pediatric patients using high-frequency toothbrushes.
