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/purpose: SimEx-Plus (EPED. Inc) was already a mature augmented reality (AR) dental training simulator that allowed students to have a high quality dental education practice. Now the EPCAD software has been further developed into a comprehensive computer-aided design software. It helps relevant professionals learn how to create digital fixed prosthesis in a virtual environment. This study used the newly developed EPCAD software that was integrated within the SimEx-Plus to design dental restorations then digital output milling restorations. We hope that the SimEx-Plus AR dental training simulator can achieve the multi-purpose function in one machine. Materials and methods: A right maxillary central incisor was prepared in the standard dental model. The restorations were designed by EPCAD software integrated with the SimEx-Plus and milled by a 4-axis dental milling machine (N4+, vhf camfacture AG). The internal gap of the restoration was evaluated. Results: The internal gaps of the crowns set on the right maxillary central incisor were among 68.27-89.80 μm. The different setting for digital output did not influence the internal gap ( Conclusion: The new software EPCAD that was integrated within the SimEx-Plus AR dental training simulator could design restorations, and the designed restorations had good internal gap for clinical use. The professionals can learn tooth preparation and digital restoration fabrication by the SimEx-Plus AR dental training system.
