Three-Dimensional Manufacturing of Mandibular Total Edentulous Simulation Model for In Vitro Studies-Concept and Validation.
Article in Polymers, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
backgroundStereolithography is a rapid prototyping and 3D printing technique that creates solid three-dimensional models. An accurate and functional 3D model using stereolithography is invaluable in scientific research, particularly in studies involving edentulous patients. Additive manufacture and CAD systems help achieve accurate measurements and procedures and be easily replicated by lowering human error mistakes. The main objective of this study was to develop an in vitro simulation model with a reduced alveolar ridge with the same characteristics as mandibular edentulous patients using stereolithography.
methodsA mandibular model with a resorbed mandibular crest was scanned, and the STL model was aligned to the XYZ reference system. A reduction in the alveolar ridge corresponding to the mandibular mucosa of an edentulous patient was achieved. A negative model also derived from the original model was made to ensure the space for oral simulation material. A dimensional stability test was performed to validate the model.
resultsThe maximal mean displacement of the model was 0.015 mm, and the minimal mean displacement was 0.004 mm. The oral mucosa had a displacement of approximately 1.6 mm.
conclusionsAn in vitro 3D simulation model of a complete edentulous patient mucosa was achieved.
