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
objectiveThis finite element analysis study aims to evaluate the effects of restoring 1 mm and 2 mm diastemas in maxillary anterior incisors with different CAD-CAM materials on stress distribution and to compare full crown and laminate veneer restorations. MATERIALS AND
methodsMaxillary anterior tooth models simulating laminate veneer and full crown restorations were created. The experimental groups were categorized into four based on diastema width (1 mm and 2 mm) and CAD-CAM materials. Loads of 50 N, 150 N, and 250 N were applied vertically at 0° and obliquely at 30° and 60° angles to the central incisor's incisal midpoint. Von Mises stress values were analyzed numerically and visually with color-coded comparisons for all models.
resultsWhen laminate veneer restorations were used to close diastemas, the highest stress values under a 250 N vertical load and 2 mm diastema were observed in the lateral incisor. IPS E.max exhibited a stress value of 166.88 MPa for the superstructure, while Lava Ultimate recorded 35.49 MPa in the lateral incisor. Within the dentin, the highest stress was 45.92 MPa for IPS E.max and 65.74 MPa for Lava Ultimate in the lateral incisor. When full crown restorations were employed, the highest stress values under a 250 N vertical load were again recorded in the lateral incisor. IPS E.max showed a stress value of 198.03 MPa for the superstructure, while Lava Ultimate demonstrated 40.80 MPa. The highest stress values within the dentin were 65.20 MPa for IPS E.max and 65.74 MPa for Lava Ultimate in the lateral incisor.
conclusionsThis finite element analysis highlights that the type of restoration and diastema width significantly affect stress distribution in anterior teeth. IPS E.max material exhibited higher stress values, leading to more significant stress accumulation than other materials in laminate veneer and full crown restorations. Additionally, Lava Ultimate showed the highest stress values within the dentin. These findings underscore the importance of selecting appropriate CAD-CAM materials and restoration types to optimize stress distribution in diastema closures, providing critical insights for restoration planning.
