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

Background: NFC (near-field communication) technology for labeling of dental ceramic crowns through tagging may offer a versatile, contactless, and digital solution for prosthesis and patient identification. Objectives: To evaluate the technological feasibility of labeling dental ceramic crowns with NFC tagging using surface marking, and to evaluate the durability and readability of the tagged crowns during dental laboratory disinfection. Methods: This in-vitro pilot study consisted of two phases. In the technological phase, surface marking was done using the NTAG213 NFC tag (JAKCOM N3 Smart nail chip) to fabricate NFC-tagged ceramic crowns. An NFC-compatible smartphone was used as the NFC reader to evaluate the tag readability. In the experimental phase, the durability and readability of the tagged crowns were evaluated after dental laboratory disinfection. The data were expressed in frequencies and percentages. McNemar's test was used for statistical analysis. Results: NFC-tagged ceramic crowns ( Conclusions: An innovative and simple labeling of dental ceramic crowns was developed using surface marking to fabricate NFC-tagged ceramic crowns. Their demonstrated durability and readability during dental laboratory disinfection highlights the potential of this technology for clinical and forensic applications. However, this study evaluates resistance to specific disinfection protocols rather than long-term durability under extended clinical use.
