The impact of restoration protocols on the fracture resistance of root canal treated anterior teeth: an in vitro study.

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
This study aimed to evaluate the fracture resistance of endodontically treated maxillary central incisors restored with various post-and-core configurations and computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) resin composite crowns. Additionally, it assessed whether restoration design influences mechanical performance. Twenty-one maxillary central incisors underwent endodontic treatment and were allocated into three groups (n = 7). The FRCP group received a fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) post with a composite core; the NRCC group received a nanoparticle zirconia-reinforced composite core alone; and the FRCC group received an FRC core alone. Following fabrication of CAD/CAM resin-composite crowns, the specimens underwent 10,000 thermal cycles. Specimens were loaded to failure in a universal testing machine, and fracture patterns were examined under a stereomicroscope. Restoration type significantly influenced fracture resistance (p = 0.014). Mean fracture loads were 612.36 ± 87.80 Newtons (N) for FRCP, 516.98 ± 80.34 N for NRCC, and 465.65 ± 84.95 N for FRCC. The fiber post-composite core configuration exhibited higher fracture resistance compared to composite core materials alone. However, all groups withstand loads exceeding typical anterior biting forces, suggesting that reinforced composite cores may serve as viable alternatives for restoring endodontically treated maxillary central incisors.
