1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The management of postoperative bleeding is mandatory in patients receiving anticoagulants. In this case report, we introduce a fully digital workflow for surgical splint fabrication to prevent postoperative bleeding in patients receiving anticoagulants and/or at risk of inadvertent extraction of a mobile tooth during impression making. An 87-year-old woman using apixaban had a left mandibular canine that required extraction due to chronic apical periodontitis. A digital impression was obtained using an intraoral scanner. First, the tooth to be extracted was deleted using three-dimensional (3D) computer-aided design (CAD) software (Geomagic Freeform, 3D Systems) and a stereolithography (STL) file was exported. This modified STL file was imported into another CAD software (3Shape Dental System, 3Shape) and a surgical splint was designed. The splint was fabricated using a 3D printer (Form 3; Formlabs) and light-curable resin (Dental LT Clear, Formlabs) and was delivered after the tooth extraction. The patient was followed-up 2 days after the extraction; no postoperative bleeding was detected and the surgical splint was removed. The additively manufactured surgical splint fabricated using a fully digital workflow was efficacious for managing postoperative bleeding after a dental extraction.
