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

Objectives: The flexural strength and elastic modulus of rapidly prototyped denture base materials are affected by numerous factors including reinforcement with nanoparticles (NPs) and post-curing duration (PCD), though the effect of these two factors together has been overlooked. The present study tested the effect of nanodiamonds (NDs) or silicon dioxide nanoparticles (SNPs) with various PCDs on the flexural strength and elastic modulus of rapidly prototyped denture base materials. Methods: To measure the flexural strength and elastic modulus, bar-shaped specimens (64 × 10 × 3.3 mm) were designed and rapidly prototyped using ASIGA and NextDent denture base resins. Each resin ( Results: The flexural strength increased with prolonged PCD and the highest values for all tested groups were reported at 90 min ( Conclusion: The flexural strength and elastic modulus of rapidly prototyped denture base resin were increased with the addition of NDs or SNPs and when increasing the PCD. Factors including nanoparticle type and concentration, the post-curing duration, and the material type solely or in combination could affect the flexural strength and elastic modulus of prototyped denture base materials.
