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

The marginal fit of all-ceramic fixed restorations is critical to long-term success. This comprehensive study and meta-analysis assessed the marginal fit of restorations manufactured using digital versus conventional impression procedures. We conducted a comprehensive search of electronic databases such as PubMed, Cochrane CENTRAL, Web of Science, and Scopus for publications published up to 2023. Eligible papers comparing the marginal fit of all-ceramic permanent restorations made using digital and conventional impressions were considered. A total of 19 studies met the inclusion criteria. The pooled analysis revealed that restorations fabricated from digital impressions exhibited a significantly better marginal fit than those from conventional impressions and showed a mean marginal gap of -13.76 µm (95% confidence interval: [-24.77, -2.76],
