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
objectivesCeramic dental prostheses exhibit increasing failure rates with service time. In particular, veneered crowns and bridges are susceptible to chipping and other fracture modes of failure. The purpose of this manuscript is to introduce a computational methodology and associated software that can predict the time-dependent probability of failure for ceramic prostheses and subsequently design proof test protocols to significantly enhance their reliabilities and lifetimes.
methodsTransient reliability and corresponding proof testing theories are introduced. These theories are coded in the Ceramic Analysis and Reliability Evaluation of Structures (CARES/Life) code. This software will be used to demonstrate the predictive capability of the theory as well as its use in designing proof test protocols to significantly improve the reliability (survival probability) and lifetime for dental prostheses. A three-unit fixed dental prosthesis (FDP) with zirconia core (ZirCAD) and veneering ceramic (ZirPress) are used to compare the predicted probabilities of failure to general clinical results. In addition, the capability to use proof testing to significantly improve the performance (reliability and lifetime) for this restoration is demonstrated.
resultsThe probability of failure, P SIGNIFICANCE: The transient reliability and proof test theory presented in this paper and associated computational software CARES/Life were successful in predicting the performance of ceramic dental restorations when compared to clinical data. Well-designed proof test protocols combined with proper material selection can significantly enhance the reliabilities and lifetimes of ceramic prostheses. This proof test capability can be a translational technology if properly applied to dental restorations.
