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
objectiveTo determine the clinical performance of partial coverage restorations (PCR) (onlays, occlusal veneers, and partial crowns) composed of different ceramic and ceramic-based materials to treat extended posterior defects. MATERIALS AND
methodsMEDLINE, Scopus, CENTRAL, ClinicalTrials.gov, and the International Clinical Trials Registry Platform were searched (inception-February 2024) for randomized controlled trials (RCT) comparing posterior PCRs composed of different ceramic and ceramic-based materials with a minimum follow-up of 1 year.
resultsSix RCTs were included. Resin matrix ceramic (RMC) and lithium disilicate (LDS) restorations had a 3-year survival rate of 89.3% (95% CI 76.4-95.3) and 93.7% (95% CI 83.7-97.7), respectively, and leucite-reinforced glass ceramic (LRGC) restorations a range between 96.1% (95% CI 90.1-98.9) compared with RMC and 98.3% (95% CI 90.8-100) compared with LDS. After 1-3 years of follow-up, LDS slightly outperformed RMC on restoration failure and loss of retention (1.56 more failures and 1.78 more loss of retentions for RMC per 100 restoration-years [low certainty evidence]). No statistically significant differences between ceramic and ceramic-based materials were detected in short-term follow-up (1-3 years of follow-up). The long-term performance of posterior PCRs is uncertain.
conclusionThe survival of LDS restorations may slightly outperform RMC restorations after 3 years of follow-up across outcomes, except for bulk fracture. RCTs providing medium to long-term data are needed. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Ceramic and ceramic-based PCRs are a reliable treatment option to restore extended posterior defects.
