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

This dental technique demonstrates an approach to integrating an intra-oral scan and a poly vinyl siloxane impression of the functional sulcus for a completely edentulous maxilla. The intra-oral scan and polyvinyl siloxane impression are aligned in the oral cavity via the design and subsequent manufacture of a custom impression tray with a large window. This technique allows precise alignment of the two scans, whereas other proposed methods rely on alignment ex vivo using third-party software which may introduce errors. The technique explained here can be applied in a variety of clinical scenarios including hyperplastic tissue, flabby or mobile ridges, or patients with sensitive gag reflexes. Moreover, it offers an alternative technique to clinicians for challenging clinical situations without the need for additional clinical appointments.
