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

Aim: The aim of the study was to compare the survival and success rates of metal onlays and crowns in root canal-treated first and second molars with single proximal defects. Materials and Methods: A total of 120 patients requiring post-endodontic restoration of molars were randomly assigned into two groups ( Statistical Analysis: Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was performed to evaluate the restoration survival rate; the Chi-square test was used to compare categorical variables. Results: Kaplan-Meier analysis showed a survival rate of 95% for onlays and 90% for crowns, with no significant difference ( Conclusion: Metal onlays and crowns exhibited comparable survival and success rates in root canal-treated first and second molars with single proximal defects.
