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 study aimed to present a new application of 3D printing technology for crowns integrated with orthodontic brackets as one unit and to assess the strength of the bonded groups and the one-unit printed group. A total of 60 lateral incisors with brackets were obtained and allocated into two main groups: bonded groups and one-unit group. For the bonded groups, there were 40 specimens (20 conventionally fabricated crowns and 20 3D-printed crowns with bonded brackets), while for the one-unit group, there were 20 3D-printed crowns and brackets fabricated as one unit. One lateral incisor and one with a bracket were scanned, forming STL files for designing and printing 3D-printed specimens (20 without, 20 with brackets). Half of the specimens (30,
