Evaluation of Clinical Performance of Stainless Steel Crowns and 3D-printed Resin Crowns in Primary Molars of Children: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
Article in International journal of clinical pediatric dentistry, 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
Aim and background: Digital dentistry has paved the way for the use of permanent resins, which are biocompatible and esthetic, as an alternative to stainless steel crowns (SSCs). So, this study evaluated and compared the clinical performance of SSCs and 3D-printed resin crowns (3D-PRCs) in pulpectomized primary molars in children. Materials and methods: This split-mouth randomized clinical trial was registered under the Clinical Trials Registry of India (CTRI) number: CTRI/2024/02/062466. Thirty-two children aged 6-9 years with 64 pulpectomized primary second molars requiring bilateral full-coronal restorations were randomly assigned to group I (SSCs) and group II (3D-PRCs). Survival rate, crown retention, and gingival health were assessed at 6 and 12 months. Data were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier (KM), Mann-Whitney Results: A statistically significant difference was observed for survival rate and crown retention ( Conclusion: SSCs demonstrated superior performance in terms of crown retention, longevity, and gingival health. 3D-PRCs offered a distinct advantage in esthetic appeal. Clinical significance: The esthetic limitations and potential hypersensitivity reactions associated with SSCs underscore the need for economical and durable alternatives in pediatric restorative dentistry. Integrating these 3D-PRCs with refined fabrication techniques, enhanced retention strategies into clinical practice could significantly improve treatment acceptance and long-term oral health outcomes in children.
