A Literature Review of Stainless Steel Crown for Permanent Molars: Indications, Survival, Periodontal and Radiographic Findings.
Review in Journal of dentistry (Shiraz, Iran), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Stainless steel crowns (SSCs) are the preferred choice for restoring primary molars with extensive caries. However, they may be indicated for permanent molars in certain cases as well. While limited research assessed different aspects of this treatment separately, this review aims to consolidate the existing literature and provide a multi-dimensional analysis of preformed metal crown restoration for permanent molars. A comprehensive search of electronic databases including PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane was conducted, and relevant studies were categorized based on specific aspects of this treatment including indications, survival rates, periodontal and radiographic findings, utilization frequency, and alternative options. The review highlights the wide range of indications for SSCs on permanent molars of children, adolescents, and even adults, along with their remarkable success rates. However, noticeable underutilization, despite their proven efficacy, was observed. Periodontal defects and marginal discrepancies were found to be the most common causes of failures.
