1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectivesTo analyze survival and complication rates for anterior and premolar laminate-veneers out of different ceramic materials (feldspathic, leucite-reinforced glass-ceramic [LRGC], lithium-disilicate [LDS] and zirconia). MATERIAL AND

methodsA systematic literature search was conducted across multiple databases for clinical studies on ceramic laminate-veneers with a minimum-follow-up of ≥ 1 year. The date of last search was on February 19, 2024. Survival, technical, esthetic and biological events were assessed for different laminate-veneer materials at three observation periods (short- [1-3 years], mid- [4-6 years] and long-term [≥ 7 years]).

resultsTwenty-nine studies were included. Meta-analysis revealed a pooled survival-rate of 96.13% for feldspathic, 93.70% for LRGC and 96.81% for LDS at 10.4 years. No difference was found between materials. Complication rates (technical/esthetic/biological) were as follows: Feldspathic: 41.48%/19.64%/6.51%; LRGC: 29.87%/17.89%/4.4%; LDS: 6.1%/1.9%/0.45% at 10.4 years. Zirconia showed a 100% survival-rate with no complications at 2.6 years. No long-term data was available for zirconia.

conclusionsFeldspathic, LRGC and LDS laminate-veneers showed high survival-rates at long-term observation. LDS slightly outperforms feldspathic and LRGC laminate-veneers with lower long-term complication rates. More studies providing long-term data on zirconia laminate-veneers are needed. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Ceramic laminate-veneers are a reliable treatment option. LDS may be preferred as a restorative material for long-term success.
