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
objectiveTo evaluate whether teeth prepared for overlay restoration, as well as their antagonist or adjacent teeth, undergo positional changes between tooth preparation and final cementation appointments, with or without the use of a temporary restoration. MATERIALS AND
methodsFifty teeth (maxillary and mandibular molars and premolars) requiring overlay restorations were prepared and randomly assigned to 2 groups, according to whether a temporary restoration (Telio, Ivoclar Vivadent) was placed during the interval between appointments or not. Digital scans (Trios3) were obtained at the first appointment, immediately after tooth preparation (T0), and at the second appointment, before cementation (T1). The T0 and T1 .STL files were superimposed (Geomagic), and linear displacements of the abutment tooth (AB), its antagonist (AN), and the adjacent tooth (AD) were measured, providing a quantitative assessment of positional changes. Maximum tooth movement distances were statistically analyzed (p < 0.05).
resultsThe factor "tooth position" significantly influenced maximum tooth movement distance (p < 0.0001). Specifically, AB demonstrated greater positional changes compared to AN (p < 0.0001) and AD (p < 0.0001). Moreover, the placement of a temporary restoration significantly reduced the extent of tooth movement in maxillary molars (p = 0.002) but not in other investigated tooth classes (p > 0.05).
conclusionsOmission of a temporary restoration during the interval between tooth preparation and overlay cementation may increase the risk of tooth positional changes for specific tooth classes.
