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

Background: The use of 3D printers in dentistry is expected to increase in the future. However, there is limited information available on the accuracy of dental 3D printers for creating dental and implant models. This study aimed to compare the accuracy of 3D-printed casts and traditional plaster casts for the fabrication of tooth-supported and implant-supported restorations. Materials and Methods: This Results: The RMS value was significantly lower in the conventional plaster cast group compared to the LCD group ( Conclusion: Although plaster casts demonstrated higher accuracy, 3D-printed casts using additive technology yielded accurate results within the clinically acceptable range (<200 μm).
