Marginal fit, internal adaptation, and thermocycling effects on the mechanical and optical properties of graphene CAD-CAM and zirconia crowns for primary molars: An in-vitro study.

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: To evaluate the marginal fit and internal adaptation of graphene-reinforced CAD-CAM crowns compared with prefabricated zirconia crowns, and to assess the influence of thermocycling on their mechanical and optical properties. Materials and methods: In this in vitro comparative study, typodont mandibular second primary molars were prepared using a standardized protocol and allocated into two groups: graphene-reinforced CAD-CAM (G-CAM) crowns and prefabricated zirconia crowns. Marginal fit was assessed using a stereomicroscope at 40× magnification, and internal adaptation was evaluated using a silicone replica technique combined with three-dimensional digital analysis. For fracture resistance, crowns were tested under pre- and post-thermocycling conditions using a universal testing machine. Disc specimens were prepared separately for surface roughness, microhardness, and color stability; within each parameter, the same specimens were evaluated before and after thermocycling. Artificial aging was performed using 5000 thermocycles (5°C-55°C). Statistical analysis included Shapiro-Wilk and Levene's tests, independent and paired t-tests, and two-way ANOVA ( Results: G-CAM crowns showed significantly lower marginal discrepancy and internal gap values than zirconia crowns ( Conclusion: Under in vitro conditions, G-CAM crowns demonstrated superior marginal fit, internal adaptation, and fracture resistance compared with zirconia crowns. Thermocycling had minimal effect on surface and optical properties, though clinical studies are needed to confirm long-term performance.
