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

purposeThe aim of this study was to compare the wear and fracture resistance of single crowns produced from newly developed 3D printer resins used to produce permanent crowns and currently used composite CAD/CAM discs, after being thermomechanically aged in a chewing simulator. MATERIALS AND

methodsA total of 112 stainless steel die models simulating mandibular left first molars were produced, 8 for each group. Single crowns were produced from 3 different discs (Grandio Voco [GR], breCAM HIPC [HC], and Shofu HC [SF]) by CAD/CAM milling method and manufactured from from 4 different permanent composite resins (Nexdent C&B MFH [ND], Permanent Bridge Saremco [PB], VarseoSmile Crownplus [VSC], and Şenertek P-Crown [PC]) using the 3D printing method. Stereomicroscopy, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Finite Element Method (FEM) analysis was performed. Data were analyzed using ANOVA, paired-t tests and Tukey's HSD test (alpha = 0.05).

resultsAs a result of thermomechanical aging, significant difference was found between the groups in wear and fracture resistance (P < .05). The highest wear resistance was found in the VSC group, and the lowest wear resistance in the PC group. As a result of the compression test, the highest fracture resistance was noted in the GR group and the lowest in the PC group. FEM analysis performed to validate fracture experiments showed an 87% similarity to the in-vitro data.

conclusionsThe crowns in all groups produced by CAD/CAM milling and 3D printing provided acceptable in vitro wear and fracture resistance for clinical application. The wear and fracture resistance of resin-based materials should be supported by clinical studies.
