Direct Versus Indirect Treatment Options of Endodontically Treated Posterior Teeth: A Narrative Review.
Review in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
One of the controversial topics in dentistry is restoring endodontically treated posterior teeth. Most posterior teeth that undergo endodontic treatment are subjected to a high rate of fracture due to excessive amount of loss of tooth structure. The aim of this review is to evaluate and compare the restorative and prosthetic treatment options to provide clinical recommendations for restoring endodontically treated posterior teeth. Both Medline on PubMed and Google Scholar were utilized for the search. The terms on our keyword list were "crown," "onlay," "endo-crown," "amalgam," and "composite," with the time frame from 1977 to 2024. We also examined the reference lists of potentially relevant papers for any recent review articles. Our analysis examined review articles found through computerized searches, along with relevant citations from the bibliographies of those studies. This review will focus on the dental restorative options and the amount of remaining tooth structure in determining the final restoration of an endodontically treated posterior tooth. This narrative review addresses different treatment options for endodontically treated posterior teeth based on the amount of remaining tooth structure. In addition, it compares the survival rate and the limitations among direct and indirect restorations.
