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

Implant-supported overdentures have become a widely accepted treatment modality for edentulous patients, offering enhanced retention, stability and comfort compared to conventional complete dentures. Hence, a total of 78 standardized specimens were fabricated and divided into three groups (n = 26 each): Group A (heat-cured PMMA), Group B (CAD/CAM milled resin) and Group C (3D-printed resin). Group B exhibited the lowest surface roughness (0.62 ± 0.12 µm) and microbial adherence (0.41 ± 0.09 OD), followed by Group C (1.25 ± 0.18 µm Ra; 0.68 ± 0.12 OD), while Group A showed the highest values (1.82 ± 0.23 µm Ra; 0.91 ± 0.15 OD). All intergroup comparisons were statistically significant (p < 0.001). A strong positive correlation (r = 0.86, p < 0.001) was observed between surface roughness and microbial adherence. It is concluded that CAD/CAM milled resin offers superior surface smoothness and reduced microbial adherence compared to heat-cured PMMA and 3D-printed resins.
