Fracture load of feldspar ceramic crowns: effects of surface treatments and aging.
Article in Clinical oral investigations, 2025. 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
objectivesTo compare the impact of intaglio surface treatments - airborne particle abrasion and hydrofluoric acid (HF) etching - of feldspar ceramic (FEL) crowns on the fracture load (FL) and to investigate the effects of abutment materials and artificial aging. The aim was to assess whether etching could be replaced by an alternative surface roughening method. MATERIALS AND
methodsFEL crowns had their intaglio surfaces either abraded (25 µm Al
resultsFor crowns bonded to CoCrMo abutments, aging affected the FL and Weibull modulus, but pretreatment methods did not. For initial specimens, airborne abraded and etched crowns were equivalent within a 400N bound, however, for aged specimens, equivalence was inconclusive. For crowns bonded to polymer-abutments, pretreatment and aging influenced the FL. Etching decreased the initial FL by over 420N compared to airborne abraded and untreated specimens. After aging, untreated crowns' FL decreased by 528N, while airborne abraded and etched specimens showed no aging effect.
conclusionsAirborne particle abrasion of FEL crowns' intaglio surfaces did not negatively impact FL and was comparable to etched crowns. Conclusions regarding pretreatment methods and aging differed between CoCrMo- and polymer-abutments. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Airborne particle abrasion may be an alternative procedure for the intaglio surface treatment of FEL crowns prior bonding.
