Shaping Smiles: A Narrative Review of Crown Advancements in Pediatric Dentistry.
Review in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07523776 (Vertical Dimension Changes and Mean Biting Force Following Bioflx Placement Over Pulp-treated Primary Molars Versus Stainless Steel Crowns), which is not on this map. Cited by 21 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.

Abstract
This review examines the evolution of dental crowns in pediatric dentistry, highlighting the transition from traditional materials such as stainless steel to aesthetic and biocompatible alternatives like zirconia, resin-based composites, and Bioflex crowns. It focuses on their importance in repairing decayed or damaged teeth and improving children's oral health and psychological well-being. The methodology involved a comprehensive literature search over the past two decades, utilizing databases including PubMed, Google Scholar, and Chat.Consensus.App, with keywords related to pediatric dental crowns. The findings indicate that stainless steel crowns (SSCs) are valued for durability and cost-effectiveness, but they may cause hypersensitivity. Zirconia crowns are favored for biocompatibility, resistance, and aesthetics, although they are costlier and require more tooth reduction. Resin-based composite strip crowns offer a balance of aesthetics and function but have challenges in long-term stability. The review also touches on Bioflex crowns, noting their flexibility, but the limited research on their effectiveness. In summary, the review underscores the vital role of various dental crown materials in pediatric dentistry, stressing the importance of ongoing research to enhance clinical outcomes and pediatric patient quality of life. The selection of crown materials should consider efficacy, aesthetics, and the psychosocial effects on young patients.
