In vivo aging-induced surface roughness alterations of Invisalign
Article in Journal of orthodontics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveTo assess the surface roughness of in-house 3D-printed orthodontic aligners compared with Invisalign
designAn in vitro study following intra-oral material aging. SETTING AND
participantsTwelve clinically used Invisalign
methodFour groups of materials were examined: A = Invisalign
resultsIntra-oral exposure of 3D-printed aligners was significantly associated with increase in all tested parameters (
conclusionWithin the limitations of this study, we concluded that surface roughness differences existed between 3D-printed aligners and Invisalign
