Applications of 3D-printed teeth in dental education: A narrative review.
Review in Journal of Taibah University Medical Sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
Background: The contemporary era of education prompts the need for innovation that facilitates the comprehensible and immersive learning of students. Three-dimensional (3D) printing or additive manufacturing in the form of 3D-printed teeth provides an attractive alternative to extracted teeth and standard dental models, as they provide educational equality and realistic simulation of natural teeth. Aim: This review article summarises the literature that has proven the role and effectiveness of 3D-printed teeth in dental education. Method: This review article follows the Scale for the Assessment of Narrative Review Articles (SANRA) guidelines. Two electronic research databases, PubMed and Google Scholar, were used to search for relevant studies. Studies discussing the applications of 3D-printed teeth in dental education were included. Results: The positive and highly valuable role of 3D-printed teeth in dental education has been validated because of their feasible nature. Improvements in dental students' confidence, clinical skills, and learning experiences have also been proven. Conclusion: 3D-printed teeth can serve as a convenient and accessible alternative to extracted and standard dental models for dental education.
