Comparison of the flexural strength of printed and milled denture base materials.

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
backgroundTo evaluate the flexural strength of digitally milled and printed denture base materials.
methodsThe materials tested were Lucitone 199 denture base disc (Dentsply Sirona), AvaDent denture base puck (AvaDent), KeyMill denture base disc (Keystone), Lucitone digital print denture base resin (Dentsply Sirona), Formlab denture base resin (Formlabs), and Dentca base resin II (Dentca). Sixty bar-shaped specimens of each material were prepared for flexural strength testing and were divided into five groups: control, thermocycled, fatigue cycled, and repair using two different materials. The flexural strength and modulus were tested using a 3-point bend test performed on an Instron Universal Testing Machine with a 1kN load cell. The specimens were centered under a loading apparatus with a perpendicular alignment. The loading rate was a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min. Each specimen was loaded with a force until failure occurred. A one-way ANOVA test was used to analyze the data, followed by Tukey's HSD test (α = 0.05).
resultsThe milled materials exhibited higher flexural strength than the printed materials. Thermocycling and fatigue reduce the flexural strengths of printed and milled materials. The repaired groups exhibited flexural strengths of 32.80% and 30.67% of the original flexural strengths of printed and milled materials, respectively. Nevertheless, the type of repair material affected the flexural strength of the printed materials; the composite resin exhibited higher flexural strength values than the acrylic resin.
conclusionsThe milled denture base materials showed higher flexural strength than the printed ones.
