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

backgroundThe provisional 3D-printed methacrylate resin is progressively used due to its superior accuracy and durability compared to traditionally fabricated provisional restorations. However, chairside modifications remain necessary to enhance marginal adaptation, esthetics, and functionality. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of surface treatments and repair materials on shear bond strength (SBS) of aged provisional 3D-printed methacrylate resin.

methodsA total of 120 specimens (20 mm in diameter and 15 mm in height) were designed, printed using a DLP resin-based 3D printer, and aged by thermocycling for 1,500 cycles. Specimens (n = 10) were divided into four groups based on surface treatments: no surface treatment (negative control, NC), airborne particle abrasion (Al

resultsFlowable composite exhibited the highest SBS when aged provisional 3D-printed methacrylate resin was treated with Al

conclusionTo achieve the optimal SBS between aged provisional 3D-printed methacrylate resin and repair/reline materials, surface preparation with Al₂O₃/Adh, Al₂O₃, or Adh followed by flowable composite is recommended. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: In clinical settings where airborne particle abrasion is unavailable or impractical, applying universal adhesive followed by flowable composite provides reliable bond strength to aged 3D-printed methacrylate resin. However, omitting surface treatment entirely is not recommended due to the significantly reduced bond strength.
