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

purposeTo assess the fabrication trueness, precision, and internal fit of additively manufactured (AM) and subtractively manufactured (SM) resin-based definitive crowns. MATERIALS AND

methodsA maxillary right first molar complete-coverage crown was designed and fabricated using 2 additively manufactured [Pro Resins Crown X (AM-S); Straumann USA LLC and Flexcera Smile Ultra+ (AM-F); Desktop Health] and 2 subtractively manufactured [Shofu HC (SM-S); SHOFU Dental Corp and Brilliant Crios (SM-C); Coltene/Whaledent AG] resins (n = 15). The crowns were scanned using an intraoral scanner (IOS) and then seated onto the abutment tooth and rescanned. Fabrication trueness was evaluated by superimposing test data (TD) over the reference crown and computing the root mean square (RMS, µm) error for overall, intaglio, and margin surfaces. Internal fit was evaluated by measuring the average gap distance between the crown and abutment tooth (µm) using a modified triple scan protocol (TSP) for overall, occlusal, and axial surfaces. One-way ANOVA followed by post hoc Tukey's comparison tests was used to analyze the data (α = 0.05).

resultsSignificant differences were observed among the resin-based crown materials for trueness (RMS), precision deviation, and internal fit (p < 0.001). AM-F had the lowest intaglio RMS value. Margin RMS values for AM-F and AM-S were significantly lower than those for SM-C and SM-S (p < 0.001). SM-C and SM-S showed superior occlusal fit compared to AM-F and AM-S (p < 0.001).

conclusionsThe type of CAD-CAM manufacturing method-additive or subtractive-significantly influenced the trueness and internal fit of resin-based definitive crowns.
