Case report: Vertical preparation protocol for veneers.
Article in Journal of clinical and experimental dentistry, 2023. 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
The biologically oriented preparation technique (BOPT) consists of a vertical preparation of the tooth that involves a reduction to zero of the emergence anatomy, the creation of a new finish area, and immediate temporization, so that the gingiva is supported by a suitable prosthetic restoration. To this effect, it is not the restoration that adapts to the gingiva, but the gingiva that adapts to the restoration. This technique not only allows the gingiva around the tooth to stabilise, but over time it will also facilitate the achievement of a predictable coronal migration of the gingival margin. The present paper describes the protocol from dental preparation to the cementation of the BOPT veneers, highlighting the differences with the established protocol for full coverage crowns and the protocol we have followed for many years for veneers with finish lines.
