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

A variety of printable resins for denture bases are available, without detailed instructions on print parameters. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the printing build angle and the layer thickness of 3D-printed denture base resins before and after thermocyclic aging on flexural strength values and surface properties. The flexural strength, surface roughness (Ra, Rz) and hardness (HM, HV2) of two 3D-printed denture base resins (Formlabs (FL) and V-print dentbase, VOCO, (VC)) were therefore compared to a conventionally pressed cold-curing control material (PalaXpress (PP)). The specimens were printed at a 0°, 45° or 90° build angle and the layer thickness was varied for FL at 50 and 100 µm and evaluated before and after thermocyclic aging (
