Effect of thermal cycling on the mechanical properties of conventional, milled, and 3D-printed base resin materials: a comparative
Article in PeerJ, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of thermal cycling on the mechanical properties of conventional, milled, and 3D-printed denture base materials. Methods: Unigraphics NX software was used to design the sample data, after which denture base resin samples were fabricated using conventional polymerization (conventional), milling, and 3D-printing techniques. Flexural strength, Vickers hardness, and impact strength of each group of samples were evaluated both before and after 10,000 thermal cycles in distilled water at 5 °C and 55 °C ( Results: The flexural strength and impact strength of the 3D-printed group significantly decreased after thermal cycling ( Conclusion: Compared with the conventional or milled groups, thermal cycling had a more pronounced effect on the flexural strength, Vickers hardness, and impact strength of the 3D-printed group. These findings indicate that further improvements (
