Article in Clinical case reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Rehabilitation of a missing mandibular central incisor with a resin-bonded single-retainer fixed dental prosthesis is challenging, particularly in young patients where implant placement may be contraindicated. This case describes the replacement of a mandibular left central incisor in an 18-year-old male following trauma, using a lithium disilicate single-retainer resin-bonded bridge fabricated via CAD/CAM technology and designed with a virtual articulator for occlusal optimization. A strictly enamel-limited preparation was performed on the left lateral incisor. The prosthesis was designed and milled from lithium disilicate glass ceramic (E.max CAD) and bonded following standard adhesive protocols. Immediate integration was achieved without occlusal adjustments. At 25 months, clinical examination revealed stable periodontal tissues, absence of inflammation, and satisfactory esthetic integration. This case highlights a conservative digital workflow for anterior mandibular tooth replacement, combining lithium disilicate material with virtual articulator planning to minimize adjustments and preserve dental tissues. Long-term studies are required to confirm durability in this indication.
