Prospective clinical evaluation of chairside-fabricated zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate ceramic partial crowns-5-year results.

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
objectivesA university-based randomized clinical study evaluated the 5-year performance of chairside-fabricated zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate (ZLS)-ceramic partial crowns. MATERIAL AND
methodsForty-five patients were restored with 61 chairside-fabricated ZLS-restorations (Cerec SW 4.2, Dentsply Sirona, Germany; Vita Suprinity, Vita Zahnfabrik, Germany). Deviating from the manufacturers' recommendations, restorations with reduced minimum material thicknesses (MMT) were fabricated: group 1, MMT = 0.5-0.74 mm (n = 31); group 2, MMT = 0.75-1.0 mm (n = 30). For luting, a self-adhesive cement (SAC) or a total-etch technique with a composite cement (TEC) was applied. Statistical evaluation was performed by time-to-event analysis (Kaplan-Meier). Possible covariates of the survival (SVR) and success rates (SCR), evaluated in a Cox regression model, were MMT, restoration position (premolar/molar), and cementation technique (SAC vs. TEC).
resultsForty patients (54 restorations, premolars, n = 23; molars, n = 31) participated in the 5-year follow-up. Five losses due to ceramic fractures occurred in group 1 (n = 28) (SVR: 83.0% [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.71-0.96]). Group 2 (n = 26) showed no losses (SVR: 100%). The success rate for partial crowns placed on premolars was 100% and 69% (95% CI: 0.54-0.84) for molar restorations. Recementation was required in 4 restorations with SAC (SCR: 86% [95% CI: 0.73-0.99]; SCR-DC: 100%). Restorations in group 2 showed a significantly reduced risk of material fracture hazard ratio (HR) = 0.09, p = 0.0292) compared with the restorations in group 1. Molar partial crowns showed an increased risk for a clinical intervention (HR = 5.26, p = 0.0222) compared to premolar restorations.
conclusionsMaterial thickness and position of the restoration are risk factors influencing the survival and success rate of ZLS-ceramic partial crowns. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Observation of an MMT of at least 0.75-1.0 mm for ZLS-ceramics is essential to avoid material-related fractures. CLINICAL
