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
Background In light of the trend of using zirconia crowns, clinicians will likely face abutment included in removable partial dentures (RPD) designs with existing zirconia. However, the decision to replace the existing crown with a surveyed crown or modify the existing crown to accept the RPD is unclear. To the best of our knowledge, there is a lack of literature on the effect of preparing a rest seat on the existing monolithic zirconia crown in the patient's mouth on the fracture resistance of the crown. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to evaluate the fracture resistance of computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) zirconia surveyed crowns with digitally designed rest seats and hand-modified rest seats. Methods Thirty CAD/CAM zirconia surveyed crowns were digitally designed and fabricated and divided into groups (n=10 per group) as follows: Group 1 comprised surveyed crowns with no occlusal rest seat; Group 2 comprised surveyed crowns with a digitally designed mesial rest seat; and Group 3 comprised surveyed crowns with a hand-modified mesial rest seat. Then, with all the crowns cemented to metal dies, the specimens were subjected to a fracture resistance test using a universal testing machine (Model 8501 Instron, Norwood, MA, USA). Results Surveyed crowns without any rest seat and those with digitally created and hand-modified rest seats displayed different fracture resistances: crowns with no rest seat offered the highest fracture resistance (5831 ± 895.15 N), followed by those with a digitally designed and milled rest seat (5280 ± 1673.33 N). Crowns with a hand-modified rest seat provided the lowest fracture resistance (4976 ± 322.5 N). Based on our results, surveyed crowns without a rest seat displayed higher fracture resistance than those with a rest seat. Conclusion The fracture resistance of crowns with a digitally designed and milled rest seat was statistically similar to that of control crowns with no rest seat, whereas hand-modified rest seats significantly reduced the fracture resistance of surveyed zirconia crowns.
