1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Rehabilitation of posterior erosive tooth wear can be especially challenging in the presence of substantial tooth structure loss and limited inter-occlusal space. This article describes two case reports illustrating a conservative approach using the one-step Dahl approach in the management of localized posterior erosive tooth wear. The occlusal surfaces of worn teeth in both cases were successfully restored using direct composite resin and gold onlay, respectively. The material was placed in supra-occlusion during the initial stage. This technique enables intrusion of affected worn teeth and the opposing counterpart. Eruption of the remaining dentition will occur after two to three months to re-establish a complete occlusal relationship. With proper treatment planning, the one-step Dahl approach offers a simpler and predictable positive outcome in restoring structurally compromised posterior worn teeth.
