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

objectiveTo compare the mechanical, chemical, and surface properties of three materials used for provisional restorations, manufactured with additive (3D-printing), subtractive (milling), and conventional techniques. MATERIALS AND

methodsThree material groups were tested: (a) GC TempPRINT, (3D-printed/3DP), (b) VITA CAD-Temp, (milled/ML), and (c) Telio CS C&B, (conventional self-cured/CC). Each group consisted of 20 beam-shaped specimens (25 × 2 × 2 mm) used for a three-point flexural strength test and 5 discs (Ø:15 mm, h: 2 mm) used for surface roughness, gloss, degree of conversion, and hardness measurements. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and Holm-Sidak multiple comparison tests (α = 0.05).

resultsThe ranking of the statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) was: 3DP >CC > ML (Sdr roughness parameter), ML >CC > 3DP (gloss) and ML > 3DP> CC (gloss, degree of conversion, hardness and flexural strength). CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: The tested materials showed statistically significant differences in all tested properties. These differences may affect their clinical performance and should be taken into consideration for their clinical application.
