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

objectiveTo evaluate the marginal adaptation and margin trueness of lithium disilicate glass-ceramic (LDS) and glass-filler reinforced composite resin (CR) onlays fabricated using three different finish lines and two chairside CAM units (4- and 5-axis).

methodsLDS (e.max CAD) and CR (Tetric CAD) onlays were fabricated on butt joint, chamfer, and bevel finish lines using 4-axis (CEREC MC XL) and 5-axis (Programill One) chairside CAM units (N = 120). Onlays were scanned for margin trueness and marginal adaptation analyses. Data were analyzed with three-way ANOVA and Tukey B post hoc test (α = 0.05).

resultsA significant interaction was found among finish line, material, and CAM unit for marginal adaptation and margin trueness (p < 0.001). Bevel had the highest marginal adaptation; chamfer the lowest. Butt joint showed the highest margin trueness; bevel the lowest. CR onlays had better marginal adaptation than LDS with bevel finish lines, regardless of CAM unit. Overall, 5-axis CAM units yielded better margin trueness.

conclusionsFinish line design, restorative material, and CAM unit affected the marginal adaptation and margin trueness. The bevel finish line yielded the highest marginal adaptation and the chamfer the lowest, regardless of material or CAM unit. Conversely, the butt joint showed the highest margin trueness, and the bevel the lowest. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Finish line design, material type, and CAM unit selection may affect marginal adaptation and margin trueness of onlays. A bevel finish line may improve marginal adaptation, while a butt joint finish line may enhance margin trueness. Using a 5-axis CAM unit can improve trueness, particularly with bevel and chamfer finish lines and composite resin materials.
