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

objectiveThis study compared the flexural strength, surface hardness, and surface roughness of conventional, milled, and three-dimensional (3D)-printed provisional restorations. MATERIALS AND

methodsBar-shaped polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) specimens (25 × 2 × 2 mm STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: Data were statistically analyzed using one-way ANOVA. The post hoc Tukey's honest significant difference was conducted to compare the differences value between groups (

resultsThe milled computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) provisional restorative material exhibited a significantly higher flexural strength (125.16 ± 6.83 MPa) compared with both the traditional (109.74 ± 14.14 MPa) and 3D-printed (71.09 ± 9.09 MPa) materials (

conclusionThe provisional restorations fabricated using milled PMMA technology provide adequate flexural strength, surface hardness, and low surface roughness, offering a viable alternative for creating provisional restorations.
