Long-term survival and reasons for failure in direct anterior composite restorations: A systematic review.
Review in Journal of conservative dentistry : JCD. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
This study investigated the clinical longevity of direct anterior composite restorations. Clinical studies exploring survival of anterior light-cured composite restorations with minimum of 2 years of follow-up were screened and reasons related to failure of direct anterior composite restorations were noted. PubMed, LILIACS, ProQuest, CENTRAL, and MEDLINE databases were searched with no restriction on date. Articles obtainable in the English language solely were enclosed during this study. Furthermore, articles to which reviewers had access were solely enclosed in ProQuest. Reference lists of eligible studies were hand searched. Initially, four reviewers screened the titles/abstracts of 947 studies. Out of those studies, a total of 47 articles were selected for full text reading, from which 25 studies were selected for qualitative synthesis. The studies that were enclosed evaluated the clinical performance of composite class III and class IV restorations (11 studies), which were placed due to caries, fracture, or replaced old restorations, veneers and full coverage restorations placed for esthetic reasons (9 studies), restorations in worn teeth (4 studies) with one study including combination of three type of studies listed above. A total of 75,637 restorations were evaluated and annual failure rates were in the range of 0% to 27.11% with survival rates ranging from 28.6% to 100%. Class III restorations had lower failure rates than alternative restorations. Fracture was the main cause of failure of restorations. The factors related to failure of restoration were adhesive technique, type of composite resin used, replacement of restoration first placed, and time required to make up the restorations.
