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
This research analyzed the effect of the manufacturing method on the flexural strength and color stability of 3D-printed resins used for producing indirect restorations. For this, two dental restorative biocompatible resin materials, OnX (OnX, SprintRay) and CB (Crown and Bridge, Dentca), were divided into 2 groups according with manufacturing method (printed with a Pro95 3D printer - SprintRay; and not printed, with samples obtained with the fluid resin being poured on PVS molds for further light activation in the post-curing process), and subdivided into 2 groups according to the post-curing method: VG (Valo Grand, Ultradent Products) for 120 s and PC (Procure 2, SprintRay). Bar-shaped samples were used to evaluate the flexural strength 24 h after storage in distilled water at 37 °C using a universal testing machine. Disk-shaped samples were used to evaluate the color stability with a spectrophotometer at baseline, after 1-7 days in dark dry storage at 37 °C, and after 1 day of artificial aging in water at 60 °C. Data were evaluated using 3-way ANOVA (flexural strength) and 4-way repeated measures ANOVA (color stability), followed by the Tukey's HSD test (α = .05). Flexural strength showed significant results for resin (p < .001), while manufacturing and post-curing methods were not significant (p > .05). The interaction effects between resin and manufacturing method (p = .978), and between resin, manufacturing method and post-curing method (p = .659) were not significant. In general, OnX showed higher flexural strength values than CB, regardless of manufacturing method or post-curing protocol. Color stability results showed significant results for resin (p < .001), time (p < .001), resin and time (p = .029), and resin and curing method (p < .001), but no differences considering resin and manufacturing mode (p = .87), or resin, manufacturing method and curing method (p = .35). In general, OnX showed a higher color change than CB, longer storage times resulted in increased color change for both materials, and CB cured with VG showed lower color alteration than CB cured with PC2. The manufacturing method (3D printed or not 3D printed) does not seem to influence the flexural strength and color stability of 3D printed resins. This may indicate that, at least from a physical-mechanical perspective, the final properties of the material are mainly dependent on the post-curing process.
