Effect of ER:YAG Laser Irradiation on the Load-Bearing Capacity and Reliability of All-Ceramic Zirconia Crowns.

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
backgroundThis study evaluated the effect of Erbium:Yttrium-Aluminum-Garnet (Er:YAG) laser irradiation on the fracture load, failure mode, and reliability of monolithic and porcelain-veneered zirconia crowns.
methodsMonolithic ultra-translucent zirconia crowns (5YZ-M, n = 30) and porcelain-veneered zirconia crowns (3YZ-V, n = 30) were divided into control (Ctrl-no surface treatment) and Er:YAG laser irradiation (Las) groups (n = 15). Las was performed on the cementation surface (250 mJ, 10 Hz, 2.5 W for 30 s). Crowns were adhesively cemented onto dentin-analog abutments and subjected to compressive load-to-failure testing. Data were analyzed by two-way ANOVA, Tukey's post hoc test, and Weibull analysis (α = 0.05). Fractographic analysis was performed.
resultsLaser irradiation did not affect the fracture load (
conclusionsEr:YAG laser irradiation of the cementation surface did not affect the load-bearing capacity or structural reliability of zirconia crowns.
