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
Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate and compare occlusal adaptation and bite force distribution following the placement of stainless steel crowns (SSCs) and BioFlx crowns in children aged 4-8 years using the T-scan system. Materials and methods: A randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted on 50 children requiring pulpectomy and crown restoration in primary molars. The participants were randomly assigned to receive either SSCs ( Results: Both crown types initially disturbed occlusal equilibrium and bite force distribution immediately after placement. At the 2-week follow-up, the BioFlx group demonstrated significantly better occlusal adaptation, with a quicker return to baseline bite force values and fewer persistent premature contacts compared to the SSC group ( Conclusion: BioFlx crowns provided superior short-term occlusal adaptation and faster normalization of bite force distribution when compared to SSCs. Their flexibility and biocompatibility may contribute to enhanced patient comfort and rapid occlusal integration. The T-scan system served as a reliable tool for objectively assessing occlusal changes in pediatric restorative procedures. How to cite this article: Singh T, Devashish, Kannan A,
