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
objectivesThis study evaluated the effects of crown material and margin design on fracture load and behavior of computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) crowns for deciduous molars.
methodsThree subtractive-manufacturing (SM) materials and two additive-manufacturing (AM) materials were evaluated. Crowns with knife-edge, chamfer, and deep chamfer margins were fabricated and bonded to standardized deciduous molar abutments (n = 12/group; total = 180). Fracture load was measured under static loading, and fracture modes were classified by repairability and abutment involvement. Fracture surfaces and crack propagation were examined by scanning electron microscopy.
resultsSignificant effects of material and material-margin interactions were observed (p < 0.05). ESTELITE BLOCK II exhibited the highest fracture load with knife-edge margins, whereas Detax showed the highest values with deep chamfer margins. However, non-repairable abutment-involving fractures occurred in both materials with knife-edge margins. CERASMART PRIME showed lower fracture load but mainly repairable fractures. SHOFU BLOCK HC and CERASMART PRIME, unified crown-abutment fracture in ESTELITE BLOCK II, interlayer delamination in Detax, and superficial radial cracking in NextDent.
conclusionsThe effects of margin design on fracture load and fracture behavior were material-dependent. Among subtractive-manufacturing materials, fracture load was generally consistent with reported mechanical properties, whereas fracture behavior in additive-manufacturing materials may have been influenced by internal structure and build orientation. Material selection should consider fracture load, fracture severity, and abutment involvement. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Material and margin selection influence fracture resistance and failure patterns. Fracture severity and abutment involvement should be considered in addition to fracture load.
