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

Background: Traditional working procedures requires a lot of clinical processes and processing time. Methods: The orthodontic metal appliances were made by applying oral scanners, digital images, computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) printers. Results: The computer digital technology simplified the manufacturing process for dental appliances and shorten the duration for clinical operation and technical processing. Conclusions: The technique described in this paper can guarantee the accuracy of orthodontic appliances and bring revolution the field. Clinical significance: The CAD-CAM technology provides a fully digital workflow for manufacturing metal orthodontic appliances, which saves a considerable amount of labor and material costs, and significantly reduces heavy metal pollution in the working environment of dental technicians.
