Accuracy Evaluation of Indirect Bonding Techniques for Clear Aligner Attachments Using 3D-Printed Models: An In Silico and Physical Model-Based Study.
Article in Materials (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
An inaccurate bonding procedure of the attachments related to clear aligner systems could influence the predictability of tooth movement The aim of this study was to compare the positioning reliability of horizontal and vertical orthodontic clear aligner attachments. MATERIALS AND
methodsA total of 70 horizontal and 70 vertical orthodontic clear aligner attachments were bonded to five upper and five lower experimental anatomically based acrylic resin models with 14 clinical crowns each. The experimental anatomically based acrylic resin models were randomly distributed to the following study groups: Group A-horizontal orthodontic clear aligner attachments (
resultsThe results showed that all cephalometric parameters showed statistically significant differences (
conclusionsThe vertical orthodontic clear aligner attachments are more accurate than the horizontal orthodontic clear aligner attachments through the indirect bonding technique.
