Fixed lingual orthodontic retainer with bilateral missing lateral incisors produced in PEEK material using CAD/CAM technology.
Article in Journal of clinical and experimental dentistry, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundThe aim of this investigation is to evaluate the feasibility of digital workflow for lingual fixed retainer based on digital intraoral scan and appliance production from Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) material for clinical consideration. MATERIAL AND
methodsFully virtual lingual retainer with bilateral missing lateral incisors was designed using inlab software (Dentsply Sirona, Pennsylvania, USA). The designed retainer was produced in PEEK material and clinically adhered to lingual surfaces of the lower front teeth.
resultsLingual retainer was successfully fabricated by full digital workflow and produced from PEEK material for clinical usage.
conclusionsAlthough full digital workflow can be clinically used for production of prefabricated lingual retainer, however further software adaptions are required for improvement of the orthodontic workflow.
